Which of the following describes condensation?

• Water turns into steam or vapor and rises into the air.

Why does precipitation occur?

• The water molecules start sticking together.
• Water evaporates out of plants and trees.
• Water gets absorbed into the ground.
• Water droplets in the clouds become too heavy.
