The water cycle get its energy in the form of heat. The sun heats water so that it turns into steam or vapor, and thus you have clouds. The higher the state (solid, liquid, or gas) of specific matter, the more potential energy it has. Anyway, the warmer the air, the more water vapor the air can hold. However, water vapor has more mass than the surrounding air. So if the air cools or the amount of water vapor in the air overwhelms gravity, you get rain.
So to put it in other words, the sun is the source of energy for the water cycle.
What else can I help you with?
Do water cycle stop at night?
(Another contributor wrote:)Yes, the water cycle never stops. The heat still reflecting of the moon is enough for the water cycle to keep going. Also, it might not be enough energy in certain areas but the sun is still shining in another part of the world.
Why does the water cycle keep going at night?
The water cycle continues at night because water on Earth's surface evaporates continuously due to factors like temperature and wind. Evaporation happens both during the day and night, so the water cycle, which includes processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, remains active around the clock.
How does the water cycle begin?
evaporation( on the basic three step water cycle followed by condensation, and precipitation)
When a person perspires which part of the water cycle is he or she directly depending on to keep cool?
When a person perspires, they are depending on the process of evaporation in the water cycle to keep cool. The heat from their body is used to evaporate the sweat, which helps regulate their body temperature.
Is it true that all water on earth has been through the water cycle?
not sure, but the ancient roman believed a god name beshoy controls recycling... maybe you should check it out on google.
Where does the energy come from to keep the water cycle going?
the energy used in the water cycle is heat from the sun. it is the only source of energy needed in the water cycle.this is because it evaporates the water that forms clouds until the cloud cannot hold it any longer and bursts into rain.

Why does the water cycle keep going?
because the word cycle. which means continuous process

What is the major source of energy that powers the movement of water throughout the environment?
The main source of energy in the water cycle is the sun/Solar radiation (sunlight).the source of energy that drives the water cycle is the sun because since the sun's heat makes the water evaporate which will led to the whole process of the water cycle and the process will keep on repeating.The water cycle or hydrologic cycle is driven by both short wave radiation from the sun, and long wave (infrared) radiation from the earth.
Is life an ever going process?
yes it is actually it will keep going into a cycle
my washer keep on by passing the spin cycle and will not drain out the water.?
my washer keep on by passing the spin cycle and will not drain out the water.
What process keep the amount of earth's water constant?
The water cycle keeps the water levels in perfect balance.
What keep the water cycle working?
The water cycle works through a process of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. Energy from the sun evaporates water from bodies of water, which then condenses in the atmosphere to form clouds. When the clouds become heavy with water droplets, they release precipitation in the form of rain, snow, or hail, completing the cycle.
How can you make logging more sustainable?
for every tree you cut down replant 1 or more to keep the cycle going
Why is the water cycle vital to life on earth?
If everything evaporated, all life on Earth would be without water. If water didn't evaporate, we would probably be constantly flooded. If there wasn't condensation to turn the water into clouds, then the water might just keep going up into space and we would still be without water! So... the water cycle is pretty important.
