Answer: As a gas cools, its particles slow down. When particles move slowly enough for their attractions to bring them together, droplets of liquid form. This process, which is the opposite of vaporization, is called condensation. As a gas condenses to a liquid, it releases the thermal energy it absorbed to become a gas.
