Solution
The water present on the Earth’s surface (on land and in water bodies) gets evaporated by the Sun’s heat. The water vapours rise, condense and form clouds. When the clouds become heavy, the condensed water vapours fall back upon land or sea in the form of rain, snow or sleet. The processes of evaporation, condensation and precipitation continue in a cyclical manner. This way, water continually changes its form and circulates between oceans, atmosphere and land. This continuous circulation of water is known as the water cycle.
