Such feedbacks might involve ice on land and sea, clouds, or water vapor, which also absorb radiant heat.
这种反馈可能涉及陆地和海洋上的冰、云或水蒸气，这些也会吸收辐射热。

Astronomers therefore prefer dry sites with little water vapor, which is generally found at higher altitudes.
因此，天文学家更喜欢水蒸气很少的干燥地点，而水蒸气通常出现在海拔较高处。

Vapor
A vapor (American English spelling) or vapour (British) is a substance in the gas phase at a temperature lower than its critical point, which means that the vapor can be condensed to a liquid by increasing its pressure without reducing the temperature.For example, water has a critical temperature of 374 °C (647 K), which is the highest temperature at which liquid water can exist. In the atmosphere at ordinary temperatures, therefore, gaseous water (known as water vapor) will condense to liquid if its partial pressure is increased sufficiently.A vapor may co-exist with a liquid (or solid). When this is true, the two phases will be in equilibrium, and the gas partial pressure will equal the equilibrium vapor pressure of the liquid (or solid).
