Water is always moving; rain that’s fallen where you live may have been water in the ocean a couple of days before. What a weird thought. Water can be in the atmosphere, on land, in the ocean and even underground. It gets used over and over and over again through what is called the water cycle. In this cycle water changes from liquid, solid and gas (which is water vapor ). Water vapor then gets into the atmosphere through a process called evaporation . This then turns the water that is at the top of oceans, rivers and lakes into water vapor in the atmosphere using energy from the sun. This vapor can also from snow and ice too. The water vapor rises in the atmosphere and there it cools down and forms tiny water droplets through something called condensation . These tiny
