The water cycle is the continuous movement of water from oceans to atmosphere to land and back to oceans. Evaporation from oceans and other bodies of water moves water into the atmosphere. Precipitation from the atmosphere brings water back down to Earth, where it flows back to the ocean.
The Water Cycle

The water cycle occurs in nature and it is estimated that the amount of water on Earth has stayed the same for over two billion years. The average amount of water in the atmosphere is around 13 trillion tons! The water cycle is powered by the sun! Heat from the sun evaporates water, which then rises to form clouds, which eventually fall back to Earth as rain or snow.
