The Water Cycle

The water cycle is a process of which water moves through our atmosphere. The source of the water cycle is the sun. Precipitation from the earth evaporates into the air and condensates, creating clouds. As the evaporation continues the precipitation builds within the cloud. When the precipitation of cloud gets to heavy for the cloud to contain, the rain, snow, or hail falls from the sky. In order for this to occur there must be 100% humidity. Sometimes the rain, snow, or hail does not even make it to the ground, because the precipitation evaporates before the substance has the chance to make it to the surface.
