Answer & Explanation:

The sky temperature is just above freezing (34 degrees Fahrenheit or 1 degree Celsius).

The water molecules are sticky and they stick to other water molecules because they are what's called dipole molecules, when you give enough energy to the water molecule, it can break the bonds to the other water molecules, holding it into the water, and it can escape as water vapour. Clouds that bring rain are built up by vapor. The heat of the sun evaporates seawater and produces vapor. The water in the ocean collects all of the salt and minerals from all of the rivers that flow into it.
