The changing of water into water vapour due to an increase in temperature is called evaporation. It is a fundamental part of the water cycle and is constantly occurring throughout nature. For example, the water spilled on the floor dries up and disappears due to evaporation. Similarly, water from wet roads and puddles near our homes and rooftops also dries up and disappears by forming water vapour by the process of evaporation when the rain stops.

The water that is released into the atmosphere by the processes of evaporation and transpiration rises up in the form of water vapour. The water vapour in the atmosphere changes into tiny water droplets. The process of conversion of water vapour into water is known as condensation.
