Answer:

Gain heat and evaporate

Step-by-step explanation:

As water molecules are exposed to sunlight, they begin to heat up. This means that the molecules begin to jiggle faster, and as such take up less space. Since they take up less space they are less dense, and therefore more bouyant. This means that they begin to rise into the air, and evaporate. Hope this helps!
