Why copper becomes green if left open in air ?

A wet porous subtance in the open air loses its moisture at a rate proportional to the moisture content. If a sheet hung in the wind loses half its moisture during the first hour, then the time when it would have lost 99.9% of its moisture is (weather conditions remaining same)

In a particular experiment, a high vltage is created by charging an isolated metal sphereas shown in the fig. The sphere has diameter 42 cm and any charge on its surface may be considered as if IT were concentrated at its centre. The air surrounding the sphere loses its insultaing properties, causing a spark, when the electric field exceeds 20 kV cm^-1 by reference to an atom in the air, suggest the mechanism by which the electric field causes the air to become conducting.
