Evaporation is considered a step in the water cycle. During evaporation the sun heats up water and turns it into a gas. This gas is known as water vapor. 

It is important to note that when water evaporates, it does not take anything with it. For example, when water evaporates from the ocean, it leaves the salt behind.
