When the sun shines, it causes the water in rivers, lakes and the sea to evaporate. This means that water is turned from a liquid into a gas. This gas is called water vapour.

As the water vapour moves up into the air, it becomes cooler. The water vapour changes into very small drops of water. This is called condensation. In the sky, these small drops of water are blown together by the wind. When billions of the small drops join together, they form clouds. If the drops are very big and heavy, they fall through the clouds to the ground. This is rain.
