It either flows somewhere else or seeps into the ground.
The changing of gaseous water vapor in the air to liquid water is called condensation. If it does so high up in the atmosphere and falls as droplets to the ground we call that "rain" - but it has to undergo condensation first.
When rain or snow falls down, it is referred to as "precipitation." Precipitation is a key component of the water cycle and includes various forms such as rain, snow, sleet, and hail. It occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into droplets or ice crystals and becomes heavy enough to fall to the ground.

Evaporation, condensation, and that last one where the rain falls back down again in the water cycle.
White frozen water vapor is called snow. It forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals, which then fall to the ground as snowflakes.
Ground water, surface water, river water, etc.
If a meteor survives the trip through the atmosphere and hits the ground, we call it a "meteorite".
Its called as surface water.
We call the water that does not sink but flows on the ground "surface water." This can include rainwater, rivers, streams, and lakes that remain on the Earth's surface rather than infiltrating into the ground.
