What happens in the condensation part of the water cycle?

Condensation is the opposite of evaporation. It is when water molecules in the air, which are in gas form, cool and accumulate into liquid form. In the air, this is the formation of clouds and sometimes you can see condensation on your water bottle in the summer if it has a cold liquid inside. When the hotter water molecules in the air touch the bottle, it is cooled and shifts to its liquid form. When clouds accumulate enough water droplets, they become too heavy to stay in the air and fall to the earth as rain, snow, hail, etc.
