The Water Cycle: Where does rain come from?

Read it with Peabody

Where does rain come from? Let's find out.

Water is on the land. It is in the sea, too.

Most of the water on Earth is in the ocean.

The sun is hot. It helps water go up.

Up high, water is a gas. It is called vapor.

A cloud is made of tiny drops of water.

Rain falls from a cloud. So does snow.

Snow freezes on top of a mountain in winter.

Rain gives plants water. Some goes down into the ground.

Water goes up. Water comes down. It goes round and round.
