Answer explanation
Evaporation occurs by the sun heating water on the ground and in bodies of water until water molecules speed up, which causes them to rise. This water vapor in the air causes humidity.
Precipitation falls from clouds when condensation becomes too heavy and gravity pulls the water down.
Clouds form when water vapor in the air rises, attaches to another water molecule, and cools, causing condensation and making the sky cloudy.
Precipitation will either fall as rain at warmer temperatures, or it will freeze when temperatures drop below freezing (32 degrees F).
