Phase changes between vapor and liquid
Evaporation is the transformation of a liquid into a gas. Like any other liquid, water may evaporate gradually or violently. Its rate is fastest at temperatures near the boiling point. [See also cavitation.] ...
Phase Change - A change in the physical state of a substance. The boiling, freezing, and melting of water are examples of phase changes
Photon - A massless particle of electromagnetic energy ...
MANTLE PHASE CHANGES - Solid-state mineralogical changes that occur with increasing depth in a planet’s mantle. These are best understood for Earth’s mantle.

Phase change materials such as paraffin wax and Glauber's salt are another thermal storage media. These materials are inexpensive, readily available, and can deliver domestically useful temperatures (approximately 64 °C).

Naturalis Historia is an encyclopedia written circa AD 77 by Pliny the Elder.
phase change materials (NASA Thesaurus) Materials undergoing solid/liquid phase transformations and whose latent heat of fusion properties are used to store and deliver thermal energy, usually solar energy. Used for PCM (materials).
The following give phase changes undergone by common mantle minerals under increasing pressure. Garnet Structure:
Olivine Structure:
Pyroxene Structure: ...
The increasing pressure with depth causes phase changes in crustal rocks at depths of roughly 60 kilometres, marking the boundary of the upper mantle.
" It is the second of two major phase changes of hydrogen gas in the universe. The first phase change was _380.
The phase changes are caused by the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and illuminated body. Conventionally, 0° phase occurs when the hemisphere facing the Earth is fully sunlit. [H76] ...
The phase difference between two waves, or phase change in a single wave, can apply in different areas of interplanetary space flight. Phase shifts in a spacecraft's telecommunications radio signal can be employed to carry information.
The brightness of the Moon changes dramatically as its phase changes. During first and third quarters, the visible Moon is 50% illuminated by the Sun, but its brightness is only about 8% of full Moon -- an increase of 2.7 magnitudes.
The team took observations from over 50 orbits of the planet to detect the smallest ever change in brightness from an exoplanet as its phase changed: just six parts per million.
The Moon goes through a cycle of phases that repeats every 29.531 days (a synodic month). We see these phase changes occur with the Moon rising between 20-70 minutes later each day.
The phases of the Moon ...
A companion could distort the rotation curve (and local epicyclic frequency) by enough to render additional gas in the outer disk susceptable to collapse (perhaps via a phase change into molecular material).
This also undergoes a phase change at temperatures close to absolute zero.
Symbol: He; m.p. 0.95 K (pressure); b.p. 4.216 K; d. 0.1785 kg m-3 (0°C); p.n. 2; r.a.m. 4.002602. [DC99]

dp/dT = L/(T V) where p is pressure; T is temperature; L is the latent heat of the phase change; and V is the difference in volume of the phases. Also called Clapeyron equation, Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
