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?

Day and Night
The Earth turns around once every day. When your side of the Earth faces the Sun, it is day. When your side turns away from the Sun, it is night. The Sun does not go out. Your side of the Earth has just turned away.
1. What happens after your side of the Earth faces the Sun?
