What role does the Sun play in the water cycle?

The Sun splits the water molecules and they disappear
b)
The Sun causes clouds to form and they precipitate
c)
The Sun is not part of the water cycle

5.
What is evaporation?
a)
The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.
b)
The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.
c)
The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
