The sun heats the Earth's surface, causing water to evaporate from oceans and other bodies of water. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, cools, condenses into clouds, and eventually falls back to the ground as precipitation in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

What are the clouds that are dark and usually cause precipitation?
nimbostratus
What harmful rays from the sun cause sunburns?
Ultraviolet rays from the Sun cause sunburns.
What front causes precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely?
Does a cold front cause precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely
Where is the sun when a rain storm is happening?
The sun is still in the sky during a rainstorm. Rainstorms occur when the atmosphere conditions are right for precipitation, which does not necessarily block out the sun. You might not see the sun during a rainstorm if it is obscured by clouds, but it is still there.
Mid day sun depends on what?
The position of the sun at midday depends on the latitude and the time of year. In general, the sun will be directly overhead at midday at the equator twice a year during the equinoxes. At other latitudes, the angle of the sun at midday will vary throughout the year.
What do fronts cause?
Precipitation!
What stage of the water cycle affects the sun?
Precipitation affects the sun. Clouds cover the sun.
How do the oceans and the sun interact in the water cycle?
they interact by precipitation . when the sun precipitates water in the ocean
How do the Sun and ocean interact in the Water cycle?
they interact by precipitation . when the sun precipitates water in the ocean
What can cause chemical weathering?
Acid precipitation
Does precipitation cause thunderstorms to develop?
yees
Which best describe how the sun energy impacts the process of precipitation?
The sun's energy drives the water cycle by evaporating water from the Earth's surface, which forms clouds and ultimately leads to precipitation. The energy from the sun provides the heat necessary for evaporation to occur, which is a crucial step in the precipitation process. This cycle of evaporation and condensation is essential for the formation of precipitation in the form of rain, snow, or hail.
What cause precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely?
Does a cold front cause precipitation to fall for longer periods of time but less intensely
What are the clouds that are dark and usually cause precipitation?

3 abiotic factors in the ecosystem for tundra?
Snow, Sun, Water, Precipitation
What is the cause for different climates around the world?
Temperature and precipitation.
Does the energy in sunlight cause evaporation precipitation and sublimation?
Yes.
