Answer:

Water vapor enters the atmosphere through evaporation from water bodies (oceans, seas, lakes, rivers), ice/snow cover and soil, as well as through evapotranspiration from vegetation

Step-by-step explanation:

The cycle, which occurs in the troposphere, begins as the sun evaporates large amounts of water from the earth's surface and the moisture is transported to other regions by the wind. As air rises, expands, and cools, water vapor condenses and clouds develop
