Because as the water molecules (little tiny droplets that are so small that you can't even see them) get heated by the sun they start to move faster and faster until they escape from the liquid and become a gas (water vapour). On a cold day or a day without sun this process is slower because the molecules move slower and find it more difficult to escape from the liquid.

Will strip n all evaporate more quickly than water?

Yes


Does water from a puddle evaporate or condense?

Puddles evaporate due to the random movement of some of the atoms. This causes some of the atoms to reach their "boiling point". Once this happens the molocules evaporate and then the puddle cools down. Eventually the puddle warms up due to the warmer suroundings. Then the particles warm up so they start to move and then some of them reach teir "boiling point", these molocules then evaporate. This cycle is repeated over and over again until the puddle has completely evaporated.Because of the heat the particles get smaller and smaller until you can't see them


Why do we sweat more in humidity?

It is actually not a matter of sweating more but of it being more difficult to evaporate the sweat. If you are in a dry and windy place it is very simple for sweat to evaporate, in a more humid area there is more water in the air already and therefore makes evaporation of the sweat much more difficult. Then it would appear that you sweat more because you are seeing the sweat, however it is a matter of evaporation.


How does a volatile substance evaporate faster than water?

A substance which is volatile does not have possess the strong intermolecular forces present in water. Water is held together by hydrogen bonding, where the positive end of one water molecule is strongly attracted to the negative end of another water molecule. This explains water's high boiling point of 100 degrees Celsius. A volatile compound will have either much less hydrogen bonding, or perhaps even the much weaker London dispersion forces as its only intermolecular force. This means less surface tension and a much lower boiling point. So it will evaporate much more quickly. Example: equal volume puddles of gasoline and water. The gasoline will evaporate much more quickly than the water puddle.


Where does water evaporate more quickly?

The best condition for water to evaporate is in a temperate controlled room at 74 degreesFahrenheit. also add a sunroof and proper air ventilation

Which will evaporate faster a glass of water or a puddle of water?

a puddle of water will evaporate faster because it has a larger surface area that is, it has more of its moleccules in contact with the air Yes, the more air the same amount of water can cover, the faster it will evaporate. In a glass, there is much water that gets tiny amounts of air under the surface and not enough to evaporate. If the same amount of water was poured on a level flat surface (no puddle), it would evaporate very quickly.


Would you expect a glass of water to evaporate more quickly on a windy warm dry summer day or a calm cold dry winter day?

A windy, warm day is better for evaporating wate for the wind will carry heat particles as well.


Is breaking down the size of salt make it quicker to evaporate?

Salt is already a substance that's quick to evaporate. But if you decrease the size even more, it will more than likely evaporate more quickly.


Which liquid evaporates more quickly water or juice?

Water evaporate faster.


Would your sweat evaporate more quickly if there were a 92 percent humidity?

as apposed to...?


Will strip n all evaporate more quickly than water?

Yes


Which factor out of wind or teperaure will make water evapororate faster?

Temperature will make water evaporate more quickly than wind. Wind will just separate the water molecules, which would then cause them to evaporate a little more quickly.


What could be done to water to make it evaporate more quickly?

An increase of temperature is sufficient.


Why does water evaporate quicker than water?

The warmer water is, the more quickly it evaporates.


Will sweat evaporate more quickly if the humidity is 92 percent or 37 percent?

37%


Does water from a puddle evaporate or condense?

Puddles evaporate due to the random movement of some of the atoms. This causes some of the atoms to reach their "boiling point".

What could cause water to evaporate more quickly?

An increase of the temperature increase the the speed of evaporation.
