Clouds form when evaporated water collides with dust and begins to cool down. When the cool, they condense into clouds.

It condenses into clouds, and then forms precipitation.

The water you drink comes from water that has evaporated, precipitated, and ended up in a lake or stream. That water is then purified and filtered before getting to you. Water is all recycled. In fact you could be drinking water that a dinosaur stepped in millions of years ago.

Heat makes water molecules move so fast that they break apart from the other water molecules. The heat causes them to rise into the sky as steam. (Evaporation is different than boiling.)

Earth's water is always in movement, and the natural water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water is always changing states between liquid, vapor, and ice, with these processes happening in the blink of an eye and over millions of years.

Note: This section of the Water Science School discusses the Earth's "natural" water cycle without human interference.
