In a liquid state, particles are moving at many different speeds. At the surface of the liquid, some of the faster-moving particles are able to escape into the air. Slower-moving particles stay in the liquid state. Slower motion means lower average energy, however, and this means lower temperature. As high-energy particles leave the surface of a liquid it then cools the surface on which it is resting. Scientist call this phenomenon evaporative cooling. Evaporating cooling is common and can be very useful.

In a liquid, the particles are moving very quickly. At the surface, some of the particles are able to escape into the air, while others do not have enough energy to escape and remain in the liquid. As high energy particles escape, the average energy of the remaining particles is less and so the liquid cools. The cool liquid then cools the surface on which it is resting. This is called evaporative cooling. It is common and useful in many situations:
Joggers cooling down as their sweaty clothes dry out
Water cools down a roof on hot summer day
A wet cloth is placed on your forehead when you have a fever

What happens to the power used when the time is shorter?
the liquid in it evaporates slowly
What happens to the power when the time is shorter?
the liquid in it evaporates slowly
What happens when you add heat to a liquid?
It will get hotter, convert to a gas, or both.
What happens to water in a puddle before it forms droplets of liquid water in a cloud?
It evaporates.
When water goes from a liquid to a gas?
water goes from liquid to gas in boiling or evaporation. boiling happens when the water reaches boiling point. evaporation happens naturally when water is left outside in the open it evaporates into the clouds.
What happens to the power used when the time is shorter?
the liquid in it evaporates slowly
What happens to a liquid when heat is added to it?
it bubbled, evaporates,
What happens when a substance changes from a liquid to a vapor?
It evaporates?
What happens to the temp when a liquid evaporates?
It turns humid.
What happens to the system in which the contained liquid evaporates at room temperature?
no
What happens to the power when the time is shorter?
the liquid in it evaporates slowly
What happens to the state of liquid water when it evaporates?
It changes to gaseous state
What happens to the particles on the surface of a liquid as it evaporates?
These particles are transformed in gas.
What happens when a liquid is heated until its vaporization point?
It boils until it evaporates.
What happens when water evaporates to vapor?
A change of phase occur, from liquid to gas.
What happens when you add heat to a liquid?
It will get hotter, convert to a gas, or both.
What happens to water in a puddle before it forms droplets of liquid water in a cloud?
It evaporates.
