Water vapour is the phase of water (H2O) that takes the form of an invisible gas. It is a component of the Earth’s hydrologic cycle and is abundant in the atmosphere.

Boiling liquid water can produce water vapour via evaporation, while ice can produce water vapour via sublimation. It is the use of water vapour as steam that has been a fundamental technique of energy production since the Industrial Revolution and the invention of the combustion engine.

Air will generally include moisture in the form of water vapour. Absolute humidity is the mass of water vapour in a volume of air divided by the mass of dry air. When air cools, it is less able to 'hold' moisture, that is, the saturation water vapour density falls, and so the relative humidity rises. When the relative humidity reaches 100%, the air will be saturated. This is described as the dew point. If the air continues to cool, moisture will begin to condense.

The presence of water vapour in a building can lead to problems with condensation and moisture which results in mould growth, damp, staining, and so on. The use of de-humidifiers can help to keep water vapour levels at a comfortable and efficient level.
