Explanation of the water cycle

The Water Cycle

Have you ever wondered how rain comes?

When the sun shines to the sea, the water warms up and creates a gas called water vapour. The process of sea water turning into gas is called evaporation.
Because the gas is lighter than liquids water, vapour rises up to the sky and they move up into the way of the earth's surface, it cools down and becomes back into water droplets.
The change of water vapour into water droplets is called condensation the opposite of evaporation.

Clouds are formed by little water droplets so when condensation forms up into the sky, clouds form and grow. The droplets combine together and form even bigger droplets, when the drops get heavy they fall, because of gravity, some even join together on the way down while falling. Also every single raindrop that reaches the ground is made of one million of the original tiny water droplets. That is my explanation to thoroughly explain how raindrops are formed and the way of The Water Cycle.
