|
The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.
|
|
|
The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
|
|
|
The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Detailed explanation-1: -Condensation is the process where water vapor becomes liquid. It is the reverse of evaporation, where liquid water becomes a vapor. Condensation happens one of two ways: Either the air is cooled to its dew point or it becomes so saturated with water vapor that it cannot hold any more water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water; it’s the opposite of evaporation. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Condensation is the process through which the physical state of matter changes from the gaseous phase into the liquid phase. For example, condensation occurs when water vapour (gaseous form) in the air changes into liquid water when it comes in contact with a cooler surface.
Detailed explanation-4: -When water vapor cools down again, clouds are formed. This process is called condensation. Rain, sleet, snow, and hail are all forms of precipitation, which fall from clouds.
Detailed explanation-5: -The process of water vapor cooling and becoming liquid water is called condensation.
