How is water vapour related to the energy balance among atmospheric elements?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It plays a role in both latent heat and radiation absorption
Water vapour affects atmospheric energy in two connected ways. When water evaporates, it stores energy as latent heat; when vapour condenses into clouds or rain, that latent heat is released and can drive convection. Water vapour also absorbs outgoing infrared radiation, contributing to the greenhouse effect. Therefore option C is correct, while the other choices are unrelated.
