Answer to Question 1

Answer: Thermal energy is released by the condensation of water, so condensation is a warming process (the opposite of evaporation).

Answer to Question 2

Answer: At the lifting condensation level the air becomes saturated and water-vapor molecules begin to condensethis marks the base of cloud formation.
