Water vapor (that has evaporated) condenses into cloud droplets in the cooler atmosphere. Many of these droplets form clouds. When enough water molecules with the clouds form together, they become too heavy for the upward flowing air to keep them in the cloud. The droplets then fall back down to earth as precipitation, rain being the most common form.
