- Henry filled two jars with the same volume of water as shown in the picture. He placed a lid on Jar B, but he did not place a lid on Jar A. He placed both jars on a windowsill that receives a lot of sunshine. Jar A Jar B After 10 days, Henry observed that the height of the water in Jar A was less than the height of the water in Jar B. Which staternent explains Henry's observation? O A Water vapor above the water in Jar B changed to a liquid. B. Water in Jar A bolled and left the jar. C. Water vapor above the water in Jar B mixed with the water. D. Water in Jar A evaporated and left the jar.arrow_forwardCompared to water air is _____ dense and _____.
