as air rises to the atmosphere it cools. the loss of heat causes water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. if the droplets or crystals grow and they become heavy enough they fall as rain, snow, sleet or hail. any type of liquid that falls earth's surface is called precipitation.
