A substance does not turn into water when it evaporates. Evaporation is when a substance goes from a liquid to a gas. A substance has to be a liquid to evaporate otherwise it is called sublimation, which is when a solid becames a gas.

Evaporation is a process through which a liquid can change it's state ( i.e. liquid state to gaseous state ) without application of heat. It may take place at any temperature between freezing point and the boiling point. The higher the temperature the speedy the rate of evaporation. However, the surface of the liquid must be exposed to atmosphere. During the process the liquid gives out latent heat that is needed for the change of state and so the liquid gets colder and colder gradually until whole mass of the liquid goes out. So, for evaporation necessarily it is not needed to leave the liquid in the sun.

The above cannot happen or reduces in efficiency of evaporation (depending on the relative humidity on the day) if we have a relative humidity index of around 100%. Nothing will happen to the water because the surrounding air is already saturated with moisture and thus cannot take on any more moisture.

sublimation

this is the same for gas to solid and solid to gas

Vaporization occur at the boiling point in the entire volume of the liquid.
Evaporation occur at any temperature below the boiling point and is from the surface of the liquid.

Does water evaporate without boiling?

Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation.


What will happen if you leave boiling water ice and tap water for a day in separate cups?

The boiling water will evaporate (turn to vapor). The ice will melt (turn to liquid) and then begin to evaporate (turn to vapor). The tap water will begin to evaporate (turn to vapor).

What causes the water to evaporate?

What causes the water to evaporate? For me, heat causes the water to evaporate, like the boiling water in the kettle. When it boils you can see moist on the top of the kettle. So the heat causes the water to evaporate. =D


Does water have to boil to evaporate?

Water does not necessarily have to boil to evaporate. Evaporation can occur at any temperature, even below the boiling point of water. While boiling is a rapid form of evaporation that happens at the boiling point, evaporation can happen at a slower rate at lower temperatures.
