Why doesn't water vapor continue going up into the upper atmosphere and into outer space. In other words, why does it come back down following the water cycle?

• When water vapor rises, it finds salt in the air and it mixes with it. That is why it becomes heavy and it falls down.

• When water vapor rises, it becomes warm as it mixes with the salt and that is why it comes back down.

• The highest the water vapor goes the warmer it becomes. The heat turns water vapor into a liquid, it forms clouds and it comes back down.

• The higher the water vapor gets, the lower the temperatures become. This turns the water vapor into liquid to form clouds and it falls back to Earth.
