How does evaporation work in the water cycle?

• The water vapor in clouds becomes too heavy, which causes water to drop back down to Earth.

• Water vapor cools when it rises in the air, and turns into a liquid, which turns into a cloud.

• The sun warms up natural bodies of water, which causes the water to turn into a gas, called water vapor
