What role does the Sun play in the water cycle?

Back

The Sun causes water to change form and move

evaporation

Back

The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.

Back

The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Front

Which event in the water cycle is an example of solar energy being absorbed?

Back

Water evaporating from the surface of an ocean

Front

condensation

Back

The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
