Answer:

Precipitation

Step-by-step explanation:

Water evaporates into the atmosphere, condenses into clouds, then falls back to the ground as rain droplets. We call this falling precipitation. You've probably heard this on the weather news before as a synonym for rain!

(Sublimation means turning from a solid directly into a gas, like dry ice. Clearly that doesn't work.)
