latent heat
1. Energy transferred from Earth's surface to the atmosphere through the evaporation and condensation processes.
2. 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.
