Because the rate of evaporation depends upon the surface area exposed to the atmosphere. The surface area of a saucer is greater than that of a cup which makes it easier for tea to evaporate rapidly which thereby makes the tea cool.

You can drink hot tea (or any hot beverage) faster from a saucer than from a cup because tea has a larger surface area exposed to the air when it is in a saucer. Because the saucer is wider and shallower than a cup, more of the tea is in contact with the air, so the heat in the liquid is able to dissipate into the atmosphere more quickly.

It is because of the surface area...As the surface area of the saucer is more than the cup the heat gets evaporated quickly and we can easily drink or sip it...

When placed in a saucer, the drink has a larger surface area to the surrounding. Larger area for heat loss.

Why are you able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a sauser rather than a cup?

The (rather disgusting, uncouth and common) idea of transferring tea to a saucer before drinking it (noisily), is to cool it down faster, because of the larger surface area provided. The relatively thin layer of tea, also aids conduction through the saucer, cooling it even faster. It's a matter of temperature, more than viscosity or speed.


Why will milk in a saucer cool faster than milk in a glass?

Cooling due to simple evaporation at a surface is clearly simpler when the surface is large, such as the saucer. The cooling is due to the molecules that have more energy breaking free of the surface. Hence the average temperature of the remainder lowers.


How can you use saucer in a sentence?

You should place a saucer under the cup to catch any spills. The term 'flying saucer' comes from the plate-like appearance of some UFOs. The cat is happy to get a saucer of milk in the morning. Seldom, people claim to see a flying saucer.
