Solar radiation from the sun heats the ocean and causes Evaporation

The first stage of the water cycle is Evaporation. Evaporation is the process of turning a liquid into gas. The sunrays heat the ocean and turn into hot water vapors is called Solar Radiation.

Hot water vapors turn into cool air by wind.

The next stage of the water cycle is Condensation. Condensation is the process of turning a gas into liquid.

When cool air change into cooler air by wind so dark clouds accumulate and rain happens .

Accumulation is a gathering of dark clouds . The next stage of the water cycle is Precipitation. Precipitation is water released from the clouds in the form of rain, sleet, snow, and hail. 

Gravity causes precipitation to fall from the clouds and water to flow downward on the land through watersheds.

When a cloud's droplet join together and get too big to overcome gravity, they fall from the clouds as in the form of rain or snow.

The release of water from plant leaves.
