Answer 1

The life cycle of water.

Water in oceans, lakes, rivers etc is evaporated by the sun. This moisture is collected in the clouds, and when the clouds get too heavy with moisture, it falls.

Experiment:
Cup of water
plastic wrap like Saran Wrap
a light.
------put plastic wrap over cup of water. set cup under light source. wait. What happens in a few minutes? What happens in a few days? What happens when you tap the plastic wrap?

That is as simple as I can go. Some others may give you a more detailed answer but realizing this is for a small child..simple is good.

Answer 2

Rain comes from the heavy clouds...clouds form when water from the earth (rivers, oceans, etc) evaporate up in the sky. The rain drops and soaks up the earth again...then it flow to the rivers and oceans and then evaporates again to form clouds. The cycle goes on endlessly.

Answer 3

rain comes form the bodies of water on the surface of the earth. at the presence of heat, water from these bodies evaporate and rise to the atmosphere. the low temperature in the atmosphere makes the vapors condense, forming clouds. At a certain time, this cloud will get so saturated with condensed vapors so it precipitates as rain, snow, hail, etc. back to earth. then the cycle continues.

Answer 4

rain comes from water that evaporates from the ocean and goes into the clouds then the rain that just fell later on evaporates along with ocean water and it keeps on going on and on and on

Answer 5

evaporation from the ocean to the clouds then to rain or snow into the ground and the rivers and back to the ocean that is why the sea is salty
