Water (H
₂O) is a transparent, tasteless, odourless, and almost always colourless chemical substance and covers about 71% of Earth's surface.

No known life can live without it. Water is important for our life.^[17] This has to be qualified a bit. There are some forms of life which can survive without it, but cannot reproduce without it. Since reproduction is a central part of life, it is clear that water is essential for an organism to survive and reproduce.

Lakes, oceans, seas, and rivers are made of water. Precipitation is water that falls from clouds in the sky. It may be rain if it is liquid, or it may be snow or ice frozen if it is cold. When water gets below 0 °C (32 °F), it freezes and becomes ice, the frozen kind of water. If water gets very hot (above 100 °C (212 °F), it boils and becomes steam or water vapor.

There is a cycle called; the water cycle.
