Detailed explanation-1: -the changes to water when it evaporates into the air, condenses into clouds, and then precipitates down to Earth. Water droplets fall from the atmosphere in the form of rain, sleet, snow or hail. The cooling of water in the atmosphere changing gas to a liquid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Liquid water evaporates into water vapor, condenses to form clouds, and precipitates back to earth in the form of rain and snow. Water in different phases moves through the atmosphere (transportation).
Detailed explanation-3: -Clouds form as water vapor condenses, or becomes more concentrated (dense). Water vapor condenses around tiny particles called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). CCN can be specks of dust, salt, or pollutants. Clouds at ground level are called fog or mist. Like evaporation, condensation is also influenced by the sun.
Detailed explanation-4: -You might also know that evaporation is a process involving a change of state: Water goes from a liquid state to a gas state. Condensation is the reverse process: Water goes from a gas state to a liquid state. Water in a gaseous state is called water vapor.
