The three main parts are:
- Evaporation (including transpiration) — water from oceans, lakes, soil, and plants turns into water vapor and rises into the air.
- Condensation — water vapor cools and changes back into liquid droplets, forming clouds or fog.
- Precipitation — condensed water falls to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
(After precipitation the water collects in rivers, lakes, and the ground and the cycle repeats; some sources list collection/runoff as a fourth step.)
