Is water ever added or taken away from the water cycle?
rain evaporation yes
Has there ever been ice or water on venus?
Scientists think there may once have been large bodies of water on Venus, like oceans on Earth, but they all evaporated or something into space.
Did the space shuttle ever land on the moon?
No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
How many drop of water go around the water cycle?
There are exactly the same amount of water droplets on planet earth as there was when the dinosaurs roamed the planet. The hydrological perpetuation of the water cycle has just as many droplets as it did when the earth was formed by God. In theory, no water has ever escaped the confines of the planet except for the jettison of water in to outer space by the astronauts by accident or by design. Water evaporates, condenses as it cools and returns to the earth via the hydro cycle. hope this gives you the answer you were looking for
What is the difference between the process of boiling and evaporation of water?
Boiling is a greatly expedited form of evaporation. When you heat something to its boiling point, it has enough energy for its molecules to rapidly escape. Evaporation is a much slower action, generally. It is just molecules at the surface gaining enough energy to escape. Both evaporation and boiling are endothermic processes. They will cool what ever the molecules are escaping from.
Is water ever added or taken away from the water cycle?
rain evaporation yes
Is the earth ever been photographed from outer space?
I think you mean "Has the Earth ever been photographed from outer space?" and yes it has.
Is there evaporation in space?
You could find the phenomenon of evaporation in space, when comets approach the sun (which most comets never do, but which some do). Technically, it is really sublimation rather than evaporation, since the ice in comets becomes vapor without ever going through a liquid phase. Otherwise it would be unusual to find evaporation in space. There are no liquids to evaporate.
How does the amount of water on the earth change over time?
The amount of water on the Earth doesn't change very much at all. Trace quantities are dissociated into hydrogen and oxygen by sunlight, or launched into space on our various space craft. Water hardly ever arrives on the Earth from space, but a medium sized comet could deliver billions of gallons of water (and knock our civilization into a new Dark Age) if it collided with the Earth. Many scientists believe that cometary impacts may have provided the majority of Earth's water when our planet was still young.

No. The space shuttle is built for low Earth orbit, not moon landings.
Do satellite ever stop in space?
No, they do not stop until they reenter the earth's atmosphere.
Which wall on earth can be seen from space?
Pretty much all the exterior ones; ever look at Google Earth?
Will a giant space rock ever strike the Earth and send it hurtling into the sun causing the Earth to vaporize?
Hopefully not heh
How does running water causes erosion on the earth surface?
It tears earth from the ground and carries it which ever way water flows
When can a meteorite enter an alien galaxy?
Never. A "meteorite" is a space rock that fell through the Earth's atmosphere and became a "meteor", and survived the fall to the Earth. No meteorite from Earth will ever be taken to an "alien galaxy". Why would we? We'll find plenty of space rocks in space, where we don't have to use fuel to lift them back into space from the Earth's surface.
If no new water ever arrives on Earth where do rain and snow come from?
the water cycle
