The water cycle

The water cycle is the cycle water goes through on Earth. It makes the rain, clouds, and most of our weather.

  • First, water on the earth is evaporated by the heat from the Sun.
  • Then, water collects as water vapor in the sky. This makes clouds.
  • Next, the water in the clouds gets cold. This makes it become liquid again.
  • Then, the water falls from the sky as rain or snow.
  • The water then collects into lakes or oceans. From there, it can be evaporated again, and the cycle can happen again.
