After condensation, the droplets of water in the clouds fall to the earth in different forms

• precipitation 
• condensation
• evaporation 
• ground water

Tags

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

Precipitation occurs because 

• the droplets evaporate in the air
• the droplets are too light for the air to hold
• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold
