Solution
Sun’s heat causes water to evaporate. When the water vapour rises, it begins cooling. The condensing water vapour forms droplets of water. Masses of such water droplets form clouds and float in air. When these droplets become too heavy to float in air, they fall upon land or sea in the form of rain, snow, or sleet. This is known as precipitation.
