Answer
The process by which water vapour forms water droplets on cooling is known as condensation.
During condensation, the latent heat locked in water vapour is released back into the atmosphere. Condensation can take place only when water vapour is added to saturated air or when the temperature falls below the temperature at which air becomes saturated.
