Why is the Saturated Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) lower than the Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR)?

Latent heat is released when water vapour condenses, offsetting adiabatic cooling Saturated air is denser and absorbs heat directly from solar radiation Water droplets absorb ambient heat as condensation occurs Friction between water droplets slows down the rate of vertical ascent

Correct Answer:

Latent heat is released when water vapour condenses, offsetting adiabatic cooling
