The water vapour that reaches the atmosphere during the water cycle stores which type of heat?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: गुप्त ऊष्मा (Latent heat)

Correct answer: B, latent heat. During evaporation, liquid water absorbs energy from its surroundings. This energy is used mainly to change water from liquid to vapour rather than to produce an immediate temperature rise, so it is called latent heat of vaporisation. The water vapour carries this stored energy in the atmosphere. When vapour cools and condenses into liquid droplets, much of that latent heat is released to the surrounding air, influencing cloud formation and atmospheric motion. A, specific heat, describes the energy needed to change the temperature of a substance by a given amount; it is not the name of the phase-change energy stored here. C is heat from Earth’s interior, and D is wrong because vapour has internal energy. Memory cue: “evaporation stores; condensation releases latent heat.”
