Answer:

chemical potential energy

Step-by-step explanation:

When the sun's radiant energy falls on Earth's oceans, it causes water to change state by evaporating. The form of energy water vapor have is chemical potential energy. when heat energy of sun falls on water surface, its state change from liquid to gas. This gas rises above in the form of water vapor. Its a chemical change. If this vapor get condense/ cool, it will turn into liquid again. We can say that vapor has potential to transform into water again. Thus, the energy stored in water vapor is called chemical potential energy.
