The sun heats up water from oceans, lakes, and rivers. This heat turns the water into a gas called water vapor, which floats up into the sky.

As the water vapor rises, it cools down and turns back into tiny droplets of water, forming clouds. This part is like seeing your breath on a cold day—it’s water changing from gas back to liquid.

When the clouds get too full of water, they release it as rain, snow, sleet, or hail. This is called precipitation, and it brings the water back down to the ground.

Once the water reaches the ground, it can flow into rivers, lakes, and oceans. Some water soaks into the ground, too, helping plants grow. Eventually, the sun heats up the water again, and the cycle starts all over!
