Final Answer:
water – a liquid that we drink and that covers most of Earth’s surface
evaporation – when water turns into invisible water vapor because of heat (like from the sun)
condensation – when water vapor cools down and turns back into tiny water droplets (like dew or clouds)
precipitation – when water falls from clouds as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
cloud – a group of tiny water droplets or ice crystals floating in the sky
rain – liquid water that falls from clouds to the ground
cycle – a series of steps that repeat over and over again
lake – a large body of still water surrounded by land
water – (repeated; same as first definition)
sun – the star at the center of our solar system that gives us light and heat
vapor – water in its gas form, invisible and floating in the air
steam – visible water vapor that forms when water boils (often seen rising from hot water)
transpiration – when plants release water vapor from their leaves into the air
