Have you ever wondered where rain comes from? It's all because of the water cycle! You see it when your hot cocoa steams or when dew appears on grass. Let's join our friend, Water Drop, on a journey. First, he heats up and turns into vapor, that's evaporation. Then, high in the sky, he cools down and turns into a cloud, that's condensation.
