In the hydrologic cycle, water from the ocean into the atmosphere where it can and change back into tiny water droplets.

In the hydrologic cycle, water from the ocean:

evaporate, it means that the water "transforms" into vapor, so goes in the atmosphere and form clouds.

into the atmosphere where it can:

Condense, it means that the vapor in the atmosphere cold down his temperature and transform in liquid water again.

So evaporation is the process where some liquid changes of phase to a gas state. (here water to vapor of water)

and Condensation is the process where a gas changes of phase to a liquid state. (here vapor of water to water)

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
