The trophosphere contains the most water vapor!

The heating of the water will have 3 phases
1. Melting of the ice, the temperature will remain constant at 0 degrees C
2. Heating of water to boiling, the temperature will rise
3. Boiling of water, temperature will remain constant at 100 degrees C
So, let's see how many cal are needed for each phase.
We start with 320 g of ice and 100 g of liquid, both at 0 degrees C. We can ignore the liquid and focus on the ice only. To convert from the solid to the liquid, we need to add the heat of fusion for each gram. So multiply the amount of ice we have by the heat of fusion.
80 cal/g * 320 g = 25600 cal
Now we have 320 g of ice that's been melted into water and the 100 g of water we started with, resulting in 320 + 100 = 420 g of water at 0 degrees C. We need to heat that water to 100 degrees C
420 * 100 = 42000 cal
Finally, we have 420 g of water at the boiling point. We now need to pump in an additional 540 cal/g to boil it all away.
420 g * 540 cal/g = 226800 cal
So the total number of cal used is
25600 cal + 42000 cal + 226800 cal = 294400 cal</span>
For part of our orbit the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun. This is summer in the northern hemisphere; there are longer periods of daylight, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the Sun's rays strike the surface more directly, giving us warmer temperatures.
