The process of water cycle condensation refers to the transition of water vapor from a gaseous state to a liquid state. This occurs when warm, moist air rises and cools as it ascends in the atmosphere. As the air cools, it can no longer hold all the moisture, leading to the formation of tiny water droplets. These droplets cluster together to create clouds. Condensation is a vital part of the water cycle, as it is responsible for precipitation, which replenishes bodies of water and groundwater. The cycle continues as the condensed water eventually falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or other forms.
