Evaporation is when the sun heats
up water in rivers or lakes or the
ocean and turns it into vapor or
steam. The water vapor or steam
leaves the river, lake or ocean and

Precipitation occurs when so much
water has condensed that the air
cannot hold it anymore. The
clouds get heavy and water falls
back to the earth in the form of
rain, hail, sleet or snow.
