Do atmospheric gases absorb moisture and become bigger gases?

People say a lot of strange things here, it seldom makes any sense.

Thanks, pegminer, it's like a Mad Tea Party, we get used to it, huh?

Gases don't absorb moisture. More moisture can exist in warmer air because the vapor pressure of water is higher at higher temperatures. And if you expose a glass of water to a vacuum, the water will boil until the water either all boils or freezes.

You're like your own ad hominem attack.

You're on the right track, but your logic is a little garbled. Most climate skeptics think that the increase in atmospheric water vapor will act to form gravitational lenses in the atmosphere. These gravitational lenses focus gravity waves, concentrating tidal forces into very tiny regions, thereby ripping the fabric of space apart into tiny black holes. CO2, being denser, naturally will be attracted to these black holes, and will be sucked out of the atmosphere. This will offset global warming since it will reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. This theory is known among climate skeptics as the gashole theory, and this is why climate skeptics who adhere to it (no pun intended), which is most of them, are humorously referred to as gasholes. There is a subset of these gasholes who believe that the black holes can be collected by using a planar field composed of interlocking plasma filaments once they have reduced CO2 to appropriate levels. This is called the Bounty Effect (after the paper towel, since the motion of the interlocking plasma filaments through the atmosphere resembles what you would use to clean spilled milk off a countertop) and the climate skeptics who propose this are known as gaswipes, for obvious reasons. So, whether a climate skeptic is a gaswipe or a gashole, you can see why they are so interested in water vapor.

Hi Zippi It's my belief that Co2 when it reaches about 3000 mtr it takes on a oxygen molecule and becomes Co3 and turns into a negative ion and becomes polar Because of its negative charge it would attract the positive H molecule to form H2Co3 carbonic acid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbonic_ac... The most energetic atmospheric gas is the negatively charged oxygen molecule http://bluemoon.ucsd.edu/publications/ra...

Gases don't absorb moisture. They may react with water to form other compounds. For example when lightning occurs, nitrogen reacts with water to form ammonia and nitrogen oxides. I don't really know if you'd consider them "bigger".

Aerosol particles may absorb moisture and get larger.

EDIT: Great answer Koshka!

No Gases may contain water vapor, but they remain separated. not chemically joined.

If these gases could absorb moisture they would become solids

Study high school science before trying to spread lies about it.
