fact sheet: Investigating the Water CycleAbout 97% of the world's water is in the oceans. The sun's heat evaporates water from the oceans and other water surfaces. This moist air goes into the atmosphere. As the air cools the water vapour condenses into small drops and forms clouds. Eventually the water droplets fall back to earth as precipitation, like rain or snow. The rain water flows off the land into rivers, or soaks into the ground.
