Answer:
Water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere
Explanation:
In the water cycle, heat energy is gained or lost by water as it undergoes various processes in the cycle.
In evaporation, water molecules gains energy because the molecules of water vibrate faster and become more energetic. Hence they are able to escape into the atmosphere from the surface of the liquid.
In condensation, the molecules of gaseous water looses energy and becomes liquid.
Hence, water gains energy during evaporation and releases it during condensation in the atmosphere.
