First, evaporation occurs when water gains thermal energy from the sun and turns into vapor or steam and rises into the air . Then, condensation forms when water vapor loses thermal energy, the energy that comes from heat, and changes back into a liquid. Finally, when there is so much condensation that the air can’t hold it anymore, precipitation occurs

Give an example of a situation where you might find each of the three states of water.
