Detailed explanation-1: -The water cycle is driven primarily by the energy from the sun. This solar energy drives the cycle by evaporating water from the oceans, lakes, rivers, and even the soil. Other water moves from plants to the atmosphere through the process of transpiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -When energy from the Sun reaches the Earth, it warms the atmosphere, land, and ocean and evaporates water. The movement of water from the ocean to the atmosphere to the land and back to the ocean-the water cycle-is fueled by energy from the Sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -Water constantly moves around the Earth and changes between solid, liquid and gas. This all depends on the Sun’s energy. Without the Sun there would be no water cycle, which means no clouds, no rain-no weather!” “And without the Sun’s heat, the world’s oceans would be frozen!” added Marisol.

Detailed explanation-4: -The water cycle is powered by the sun which heats water at the earth’s surface causing it to evaporate and move up into the sky where it moves along the wind currents. It will condense and if it becomes heavy enough, it will fall back to earth’s surface as precipitation, where the process can start over again.
