Which statement best explains the Sun's role in creating condensation during the water cycle?

• The Sun heats the the air near Earth's surface. Water vapor condenses when it reaches the cooler air when rising.

• The Sun heats up Earth's water, causing it to sink lower into the ground. Gravity pulls water downward as its temperature increases.

• Most evaporation occurs at night, because the temperature drops when the Sun goes down. Water mixes with air as the temperature decreases.

• Water changes to water vapor when the Sun's light reflects off of water surfaces on Earth. The reflected light mixes with the vapor created.
