2. What does the bird do last?

Where Rain Comes From
The Sun warms water in lakes and seas. Some water goes up into the air. High up, the air is cold. The water makes tiny drops. The drops join to make a cloud. When the drops get heavy, they fall as rain.
1. What happens first: a cloud forms, or water goes up into the air?
2. What is this text mostly about?
3. How are the Sun and rain connected?
