Water from the ocean is evaporated by the sun, The hot water vapor rises and expands because there is less air pressure higher in the sky , then furhter inland, the water condences into clouds and falls down as rain (or precipitaion). Its called the water cycle

How is the fall of rain?

The sun heats up the water then the water vapour condenses into clouds. The clouds become saturated and precipitation is the result.


Where does water vapour turn back to water?

Rain


Can water vapour be turned back to liquid?

Yes, in the atmosphere water vapour falls as rain.


How does the water come down?

When the water vapour in clouds merge and become droplets, they will fall as rain. Two basic reasons are the droplets have become too heavy, and gravity.


Which processes of the water cycle show heat being added and which ones show heat beign removed?

How the water cycle and heat are related: Adding or subtracting heat makes the water cycle work. If heat is added to ice, it melts. If heat is added to water, it evaporates. Evaporation turns liquid water into a gas called water vapour. As water goes through its cycle, it can be a solid (ice), a liquid (water), or a gas (water vapour). Ice can change to become water or water vapour. Water can change to become ice or water vapour. Water vapour can change to become ice or water. If heat is taken away from water vapour, it condenses. Condensation turns water vapour into a liquid. If heat is taken away from liquid water, it freezes to become ice. The water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and resulting in the surface water evaporating. The water vapour rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall to the earth as precipitation (which can be rain, freezing rain or snow).


What happens to water vapors?

Water vapour evaporates due to heat and goes into the clouds. Then when the clouds cool the water vapour condenses and falls as rain <== I think :S

Difference between rain and dew?

dew is condensation of excess water vapour rain is drops of water that falls from clouds


What is word for water from the sky?

Precipitation is water that falls from the sky in the form of rain or snow, but water vapour is a form of water that has evaporated into the air.


What does snow become when evaporated?

Water vapour


What does liquid water become when it evaporates?

steam or water vapour


Why does water vapour go up in the atmosphere and rain fall down?

Water Vapour is considered as gas and since its particles are spread out it is light and therefore able to rise up into the clouds. As the clouds gather/collect water vapour it gets heavier. Cold air cools down the water vapour turning it back into water droplets and fall back to the ground.
