Because of this, clouds form in the sky!

the name of this part of the water cycle is evaporation!
evaporation happens when the water molecules on the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to break free from the liquid state and become a gas

The process of conversion of water into water vapours are called Evaporation.
The process that changes water from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation. When water is heated, its molecules gain energy and move faster, eventually breaking free from the liquid state and entering the gaseous state as water vapor. This process can occur at any temperature, but it happens more quickly at higher temperatures. If the process occurs at boiling point, it is referred to as boiling.

Oh, that's evaporation! It's like water doing a little magic trick—turning into vapor and rising up into the sky to form clouds! It's a key part of the water cycle, where water from oceans, lakes, and rivers gets all cozy with the air, floats up, and then, when it cools down, turns back into water to fall as rain. It’s nature’s way of keeping things fresh!

Raul,
Is correct for water to turn into gas... the water must be heated and rise into the atmosphere. Evaporation is the beginning step of cloud formation in the sky. Clouds are a result of condensation of water vapor that originates from evaporation.
Hope I did not confuse you with my example.

Evaporation! Water turns into steam or vapor when it gets heated.
