The following information is about Latent Heat.
Latent Heat Defined
If a change of state occurs from gas to liquid or liquid to solid, internal energy in the form of heat is released. If a change of state occurs from solid to liquid or liquid to gas, heat is required. Different compounds absorb and release different amounts of latent heat. Water releases nearly 600 kilocalories for each kilogram of water condensed. [Journal of Applied Meteorology; v33n4; 477-489; 1994.] [A Field Guide to the Atmosphere; V. Schaefer, J. Day; page 75; 1981; Houghton Mifflin Company; Boston.] [Air, The Nature of Atmosphere and the Climate; Michael Allaby; pages 59,60; 1992; Facts on File; New York.]

- Water vapor is an "anti-greenhou se gas" | CO2sceptics: This is what happens when water is boiled. The heat supplied by your stove breaks hydrogen bonds and the liquid water is rapidly evaporated. Therefore, heat must be supplied to break hydrogen bonds and evaporate water. If air is the source of the heat (called sensible heat), then the air temperature will drop and the energy is stored as chemical energy in the water molecules (called latent heat). When water vapor condenses into liquid water, the hydrogen bonds form again and release latent heat, which increases the sensible heat and causes the air temperature to rise.
