Only a tiny fraction of Earth’s water is in the atmosphere at any one time. It doesn’t stay up there for long and there are several different ways that it can get up there! • Heat from the Sun causes water to evaporate from the surface of lakes and oceans. This turns the liquid water into water vapor in the atmosphere. • Plants, too, help water get into the atmosphere through a process called transpiration! After absorbing water from the ground, plants “sweat” water vapor through their leaves to stay cool. • Water can also get into the atmosphere from snow and ice. Instead of melting, some frozen water changes into water vapor gas and goes into the atmosphere through a process called sublimation.
