Weather
The water cycle
S1
- Evaporation: The Sun heats up oceans, lakes, and rivers, turning liquid water into water vapor.
S2
- Transpiration: Plants release water vapor from their leaves—sort of like botanical sweating
S3
- Condensation: Water vapor rises, cools, and forms clouds. This is when gas turns back into tiny droplets of liquid.
S4
- Precipitation: When clouds get heavy, the water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
S5
- Collection: The fallen water collects in bodies of water or seeps into the ground, ready to restart the cycle again.
Winds

What do winds do?
- Distributes Heat Around the Globe: Wind balances temperatures by moving warm and cool air across regions.
- Shapes the Earth: Over time, it erodes rocks, sculpts sand dunes, and changes coastlines.
- Pollinates and Spreads Seeds: It carries pollen and seeds far and wide, helping plants grow in new places
What is wind?
Wind is simply air in motion, and it’s caused by differences in temperature and pressure across Earth’s surface. It might feel invisible, but it’s a powerful force that shapes weather, carries seeds, and even powers turbines.
What is Sun
The Sun is a massive, glowing ball of gas that sits at the heart of our solar system—and it’s not just a pretty light in the sky.
What does the Sun do?
- Shines with Energy: It radiates light and heat through nuclear fusion, which is essential for life on Earth.
- Keeps the Solar System Together: Its gravity anchors all the planets, moons, asteroids, and comets in orbit.
- Drives Earth’s Climate: The Sun’s rays influence weather patterns, ocean currents, and seasonal changes.
- Supports Photosynthesis: Plants convert sunlight into energy, which fuels the entire food chain.
- Creates Space Weather: Solar flares and coronal mass ejections can affect satellites, power grids, and even create beautiful auroras.
