How are condensation and precipitation similar?

The process by which water moves from place to place on Earth, above, and below the Earth's surface, is known as the water cycle. The total amount of water on the Earth has remained about the same for the past 4.50 billion years or so - since our planet's formation. read more

Therefore, while condensation is a process of conversion of water vapour into water, precipitation is a process in which the water falls back to the Earth's surface - these processes are not similar. read more

When too much water goes into a cloud water droplets {rain} fall down to the earth. Some droplets are frosted to form snow. read more
