How do we get rain?

it comes from the water cycle. the sun heats up some water ( in the sea, a river ect.) and the water evaporates ( the water turns in a gas) and the gas is called water vapor. then the gas goes high in the atmosphere ( convection ) then the water vapor cools down and condenses ( gas turns into a liquid ) and turns into a cloud. then the wind blows the cloud ( usually over a mountain ) and the cloud precipitates ( rain, snow, hail or sleet happens ) then the water forms rivers, streams, lakes, ect. some of the water seeps into the ground this is called ground water. ( some water just comes back to the sea or place it was) then it all happens again... ( evaporation can also happen from the water on trees but that's called transpiration.)


What happens when water vapor is cooled?

When water vapor is cooled, it loses energy and condenses into liquid water. This process is called condensation. It occurs when the air temperature drops below the dew point temperature, causing water vapor to change back into liquid form.


What are the steps of condensation?

Evaporation happens when heat(the sun) hits water, and it turns into a gas. Which is also called "water vapor." Then when a whole amount of the gas comes together, it becomes a cloud. Then once the cloud becomes full(after a long period of time)it falls into a liquid. Which is called precipitation.

How can water vapor turn into gas?

Water vapor is already a gas since it is the gaseous form of water. If you are referring to how water vapor turns into liquid water, it does so through condensation when the temperature decreases enough for the vapor to condense back into liquid form.
