Earthen pots are very useful when put in the oven for cooking some special dishes. It is also useful in cooling water naturally where The cooling process works through evaporative cooling. Water seeps from mini-pores in the pot and evaporates, thus making the water inside cooler than the outside temperature.

How does the water kept in an earthen pot become cool during summer?
An earthen pot has small pores in its walls. When water is poured into it, some of it seeps through these pores to its outer surface. On reaching there, it evaporates.The heat required for evaporation is taken from the earthen pot and from the water in it. As a result, the water in an earthen pot gets cooled down.
Why does water in a closed glass jar become warmer than water in closed earthen jar at the same dimension?
Provided the earthenware pot is UNGLAZED, the water inside the pot will seep through the pot making it damp on the outside. The dampness on the outside then evaporates and cools the pot and the water in it. (Lick your finger then blow on it gently and you will find your finger feels cold). However, a glass bottle is impervious to water, so the outside remains dry and there is no evaporation and the water in the bottle does not cool.
What are the dimensions of an earthen pot?
An earthen pot can be any dimension that the creator wishes. They come in sizes from very small to larger architectural statement pieces.
Water cools down in an earthen pot give reaseons?
Earthen pots have tiny holes in them through which some of the water keeps seeping. But it is not noticeable. The water which is now outside the earthen pot evaporates. Durin evaporation, the water gain heat energy from the surroundings to evaporate. Thus the surroundings and the water in the earthen pot loses heat energy and cools gradually.
Is it safe to use water kept in earthen pots?
Depends whether the earthen pot is baked or not, if it is, it's safe to keep it.
What is meant by earthen?
(of a floor or structure) Made of compressed earth: "an earthen dam".(of a pot) Made of baked or fired clay.
How does water kept in an earthen pot become cool during summers?
Physics explains this principle well - when evaporation takes place, cooling occurs. This is because for evaporation to take place, the water needs to change into vapor or gas and this only happens when there is heat in the surroundings. So when the water absorbs heat, it evaporates and this makes the container or surroundings cooler. The earthen pitcher contains many pores or small holes. When water is poured into the pot, a small part of it exits through these pores and evaporates from the surface of the pot, thus making the pot (and remaining water) cooler than before.
How evaporation cools water in earthen pot?
Evaporation is an endothermic process.
What dance form is linked with the earthen lamp?
The dance form that is linked with the earthen lamp is the Garba Raas. This is an Indian dance. The name 'Garba' is a derivative of 'Garbhadip' or 'lamp inside an earthen pot.'
Why water in old pot is not cooler when compare to new pot?
new earthen pots enable the water inside to seep outside to a certain extent which makes the surface of the pot damp.this moisture then evaporates and cools the water inside,but in older earthen pots seeping of water does not take place to an extent when it was new.therefore old earthen pots does not cool the water inside
