is the oceans’ salt water. The hot sun shines down on the water

in the oceans. When the sun heats up the water, it evaporates
into the sky.

Water vapor in the air cools and condenses into tiny

droplets. Bunches of tiny droplets collect into clouds. The water

from the clouds falls back to the Earth’s surface. We call it rain

or snow. They fall back into the oceans, rivers, and lakes. And

some of the water evaporates back into the air. In this way, the

8
water cycle changes salt water in the oceans into fresh water
every day.
