5. How would a water molecule get from the ocean to the clouds ?

water at the surface of the ocean can become water vapor and move into the atmosphere with little added energy from the sun through the process called evaporation. The water droplets that form are what we call clouds

Over 96% of total global water is in the ocean, so let's start there. Energy from the sun causes water on the surface to evaporate into water vapor – a gas. This invisible vapor rises into the atmosphere, where the air is colder, and condenses into clouds.
