Evaporation – Happens first
The sun heats surface waters of the earth
The water’s changed to a gas right there
Gets lighter and rises into the air
Condensation – Is when the gas
Gets cooled in the upper atmosphere
Turns liquid or solid, forming clouds
And, yo, it might start falling down
Precipitation – Is when the clouds
Get liquids or solids all around
The particles get heavy and grow
Then fall as rain, hail, sleet or snow
