The water cycle is a part of life on earth. All people and animals need the water cycle. The sun heats the water. The water
evaporates into the air and becomes water vapor. When the water vapor rises into the air, it forms clouds. This is called
condensation. Clouds are made up of millions of tiny water droplets. Clouds rise and cool. This causes precipitation.
Precipitation can be rain, hail, or snow. It flows into streams and rivers. The heat from the sun makes the air warmer and
causes water to evaporate. Then the cycle starts over again.
