Water cycle :

  1. All of the water on Earth makes up the hydrosphere.
  2. Water is present in the atmosphere, on the land, in the ocean, and underground.
  3. It moves from place to place through the water cycle.
  4. Of all the water in the hydrosphere, the vast majority, about 97% of it, fills the ocean.
  5. About 2% of the water on Earth is frozen in ice sheets near the poles and glaciers.
  6. Most of the remaining 1% of Earth’s water is underground, in shallow aquifers, as soil moisture, or deep underground in rock layers.
  7. Only a small fraction of the water on Earth (0.03%) is in lakes, wetlands, and rivers.
  8. Water goes into the atmosphere in the form of vapour by the processes of evaporation and transpiration.
  9. This water vapour forms clouds which, on condensation, fall onto the ground in the form of rain and snow/hails.

Final answer: Water, as vapour goes into the atmosphere by the process of evaporation and transpiration, and it forms clouds, which on condensation fall in the form of rain and snow/hails.
