The water cycle
Water goes round and round. The Sun warms seas, lakes and puddles, and some of their water evaporates into the air. High up, the air is cold, so the water condenses into the tiny drops that make clouds. The drops fall as rain or snow, and the water runs back to the sea or soaks into the ground, ready to go round again.
