The water is returned to earth by precipitation, which includes rain, hail, snow, drizzle.
The Earth's atmosphere contains about 0.001 of water in the form of water vapor.
The sum total of water on Earth and in its atmosphere is called the "hydrosphere."
Water vapor is not cycled through the atmosphere of the earth. While water does evaporate into the atmosphere and precipitate back to the earth's surface, the water molecules themselves are not cycled through the atmosphere in the same way that gases such as nitrogen and oxygen are.
It is called the Hydrosphere. The hydrosphere is the water on earth such as lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, and clouds in the atmosphere.
The movement of water from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere is called evaporation. This process occurs when water is heated by the sun and changes from liquid to vapor, rising into the atmosphere.

The major process by which water in the atmosphere is returned to the earth is through precipitation. This includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail. When the water droplets in the clouds become heavy enough, they fall back to the earth's surface.
Evaporation
precipitation is anything that falls from the skies naturally (spaceships are not natural!) unless your talking about the whole water deal, then its called the water cycle
When the sun's rays warm the earth's surface, water evaporates and enters the atmosphere as vapor. As water enters the atmosphere, it leaves behind any chemicals that were dissolved in water. Even the salt dissolved in ocean water remains in the ocean. Only fresh water enters the atmosphere by evaporation. Water removed from the oceans, lakes, and soil by evaporation is returned to earth in the form of rain, snow, sleet, and hail.I hope this help :)
Animals urinate into the earth. So the water is returned to the earth, cleaned and eventually winds up in your faucet.

Yes - the Earth has a finite amount of water on it. This water cycles between the oceans and the atmosphere.
The amount of water in the earth's atmosphere is 1/3000.
