Solution

When something evaporates it basically takes in heat and when it condenses it cools down by giving out the heat into the atmosphere. So the energy goes into the atmosphere or surroundings.The evaporated water particles, which took energy from the water, when condense loose the energy that would be utilized increase the potential energy of the water molecules.The way the energy is absorbed by the system from the surrounding during the process of evaporation doing a series of functions, both at molecular and macro levels, the same way the energy is lost to the surrounding during condensation undoing the series of functions
As water vapor condenses in the atmosphere, the droplets become larger and the
cloud gets heavy. When it becomes too heavy, the cloud releases the water droplets. They fall
back to Earth as precipitation. There are many types of precipitation including rain, snow, hail,
and sleet. Much of the water returns to the ocean and the water cycle begins again.
