Detailed explanation-1: -The heat energy from the Sun raises the temperature of the surface water in oceans, lakes, rivers, and streams causing some water molecules to move fast enough to break loose and escape into the air. This activity begins the process of evaporation where liquid water turns into a gas called water vapor.
Detailed explanation-2: -When water at the ocean’s surface is heated by the Sun it gains energy. With enough energy, the molecules of liquid water change into water vapor and move into the air. This process is called evaporation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sun has extremely important influences on our planet: It drives weather, ocean currents, seasons, and climate, and makes plant life possible through photosynthesis. Without the sun’s heat and light, life on Earth would not exist.
Detailed explanation-4: -The sun’s radiation strikes the ground, thus warming the rocks. As the rock’s temperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air. This bubble of air rises into the atmosphere.
