Understanding the Water Cycle

The video explains the water cycle, starting with evaporation where water turns into vapor due to the sun's heat. This vapor rises and cools, leading to condensation, forming clouds. As clouds grow, they eventually release water as precipitation, such as rain or snow. The cycle repeats as water returns to the earth, emphasizing the continuous nature of the water cycle.
