How does air temperature affect the rate of evaporation of water?
ISABELLAMARKATOSgp08...
Evaporation is the act in which molecules have sufficient energy to break their intermolecular forces and separate from their liquid and move about in gaseous form. Back to the question, yes it does, however it is quite minimal due to the minimal amount of energy the sunlight ie the light rays actually give just upon your sample. However this effect would be seen to be greater over larger surface areas (eg an ocean) yet surface area to volume ratio would also play a part.
Just some additional information, you would already know temperature effects evaporation, and the sunlight effects the temperature so indirectly sunlight is actually the main source of energy for passive and natural evaporation.

How does temperature affect the rate of evaporation?
The higher the temperature, the higher the rate of evaporation. It is
What is a good hypothesis for does the temperature of water affect its evaporation rate?
At higher temperatures evaporation is faster.
How does the quality of water affect the rate of evaporation. Should it be considered for determining the rate of evaporation?
if quality of water reduce the evaporation will decrase
Do the temperature affect the rate of evaporation?
Yes the hotter the weather the faster the evaporation, the colder the slower
How does quality of water affect the evaporation rate?
Impurities in water can alter the evaporation rate, depending on the type and quantity of impurity.
How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)
What are the factors that affect the rate of evaporation of water discuss how each one of these factors affect the rate of evaporation?
Climate change is warming up the atmosphere which is making evaporation happen faster. So climate change is a factor that affects the rate of water evaporation.
Does color affect the evaporation rate of water?
no, water does not have an affect on water because the water itself is plain. (clear) having color added to it will change the color, but not the rate of the evaporation. ( GOOD LUCK!)
What would slow down the evaporation rate of a body of water?
A decrease of temperature involve a decrease of the evaporation rate.
How does temperature affect the evaportaion of water?
I ran an experiment, with salt and water sugar. the experiment was to determine if salt and sugar can make water evaporate faster. well my results kinda supported my hypothesis! and then ran the same tests on Fanta. the same affect happened.
How does the size of the body of the water affect on evaporation rate?
A greater water area produce a higher evaporation.
What factors affect the rate of evaporation?
Temperature, Pressure, Humidity (vapor pressure)
