Precipitation

The video explains precipitation as any form of water falling from the sky, including rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and hail. It highlights precipitation's role in the water cycle, which consists of four steps: evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and collection. Evaporation occurs when the sun heats water bodies, turning water into vapor. This vapor rises and cools during condensation, forming clouds. When clouds become heavy, precipitation occurs, returning water to the earth. The water then collects in bodies of water or is absorbed into the ground, completing the cycle.
