In the water cycle, water continuously moves between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. This occurs through processes such as evaporation and transpiration, condensation, and precipitation. The water cycle is driven by solar energy and gravity.

The water cycle, powered by the sun, involves water moving in various forms between sources and sinks. It starts with evaporation from bodies of water, condensation into clouds, and precipitation back to the earth. This cycle also includes transpiration from plants and sublimation from ice to vapor.

Le cycle de l’eau, ou cycle hydrologique, est alimenté par l’énergie du soleil, qui réchauffe la surface des océans et des autres réservoirs d'eau. Ceci provoque l'évaporation de l'eau liquide et la sublimation de la glace — qui passe directement d'un état solide à gazeux.
