Why don't electrostatic experiments work properly on humid days?

electrostatic experiments do not usually work during humid days beause the water molecules in the atmosphere deplete some of the delocalized charges. this is because water is a polar molecule which has two hydrogen atoms which are relatively positively charged and an oxygen atom with a negative charge.
the water molecules in the air will readily neautralise the charged surfaces in the experiment (for example this is why on a hot day you will often get an electric shock from your car door as your bum slides across the seat when you get out and create static electricity, but this never happens in wet or humid weather)

How many days will it take for 20 ml of water to evaporate?
usually it depends if it is in a warm humid area or a normal degree temperature room.
Why does the Van der Graaf generator work better on dry days?
The electrons like (are attracted) to water. That's why you put water on your hair when it is full of static (electrons). They jump onto the water. So on humid days the electrons are on the water molecules, on dry days the belt in the Van der Graaf can gather the electrons and deposit them.
Which of these types of EM radiation is a type of heat wave?
It's not a wave. It's a period of extremely hot weather that continues for several days (or weeks).

Do electrostatic experiments work on wet days?
because moisture content in air gets increased reducing friction.
Why do people sweet more on humid days?
During humid days warm air can hold less moisture compared to other days. So ,people sweet more on humid days.

Why is it humid some days and not on other days?
It all depends on the amount of water (moisture) in the air.

Why is there excessive condensation on the outside of windows when the central AC runs on humid days?
Well, if your windows are thin and get cold enough, the moist, humid air outside will condense on the surface of the windows, much like the condensation that appears on a cold beverage can or glass in a humid room.
