When water vapor in an air parcel cools and condenses, which way does energy transfer?
Hint for the next two questions:
Think about energy transfer.
When more energy transfers, what happens to the air parcel?
Question 19
19.
There are two air parcels. Air parcel 1 and air parcel 2 both have the same amount of water vapor. Which one will have more energy transferred out?
Question 20
20.
Air parcel 1 is at the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air parcel 2 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air parcel 1 and Air parcel 2 started with the same amount of water vapor in them.
Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?

Which quote answers this question -
What happens when there aren't enough droplets of water in a cloud?
Air Parcel 2 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.
Air Parcel 1 is colder than Air Parcel 2, so more water vapor will fall as rain.
