During your Science class, you had an activity about cloud formation using the setup in the picture. 

Inside the beaker, water turned to water vapor. Then, what happens to the water vapor when it rises up?

• The water vapor cools down and condenses to turn into water droplets.

• The water vapor cools down and evaporates to turn into gas.

• The water vapor cools down and freezes to turn into ice cubes.

Click and study the diagram. Why is the sun’s heat important in situation 1?

• The sun heats up the water and then turns it to water vapor or gas. 

• Due to sun’s heat, the water turns to water again so we can have more water.

• The sun heats up the water so it can turn into clouds of water vapor.
