Because as the water molecules 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 dau without sun, this process is slower becasue the molecules move slower and find it more difficult to escape from the liquid.

Can you breathe in hot water or cold water?

You can breathe in either. Given a normal environment both hot and cold water will evaporate and become water vapour (change from a liquid to a gas). All else being equal the hot water will evaporate faster, but the cold water will still evaporate. For example, when you sweat, your sweat is not particularly hot, but it is the evaporation of the sweat that cools you down. You can therefore breathe in the water vapour from either hot or cold water. Just for absolute clarification - the above assumes the questioner is not asking if you can breathe under water; which clearly you can't unless there is something a little fishy about your character! :-)


Why does tap water evaporate?

This depends on where you are, and the quality of your tap water and rain water among other factors. Filtering: Yes The lessening of particulates in the water enables it to evaporate faster. Other Water Treatment: Probably No The addition of chlorine or fluorine to the water may cause it to evaporate slower. Temperature: Whichever is hotter will evaporate faster. Hot tap water evaporates faster than cold tap water. Hot rain on a hot day may evaporate faster than cold tap water.


Can you make salt crystals with cold water?

It is possible to grow salt crystals in cold water, but it may take longer compared to using hot water because the rate of crystal growth is slower at lower temperatures. Dissolve salt in cold water, then let the solution evaporate slowly to allow crystals to form. You may need to be patient as the process can take several days or even weeks.


What happens when a beaker with cold water is held in a yellow burner flame?

If a beaker with cold water is held in a yellow burner flame, the water will begin to heat up as it absorbs the thermal energy from the flame. Eventually, the water will reach its boiling point and start to evaporate. It's important to note that the yellow flame indicates incomplete combustion, which can produce soot and carbon monoxide.


Do you use hot or cold water when you put it in the vaporizer?

Well, the word vaporizer has the word vapor in it and vapor is like water vapor and in order to create water vapor you have to use heat to make it evaporate into water vapor so I suggest you use hot water.

Why do puddles dry up even on cold days?

Puddles can still dry up on cold days due to a process called evaporation, where water molecules escape into the air as vapor. Despite the lower temperatures, air can still hold a certain amount of moisture, allowing the water in puddles to evaporate slowly over time. Additionally, factors like wind and sunlight can accelerate the evaporation process, causing puddles to dry up even in cold weather.


Can water evaporate in cold weather?

Yes, water can still evaporate in cold weather, but the rate of evaporation is slower compared to warmer temperatures.


Does water evaporate in cold weather?

Yes, water can still evaporate in cold weather, but the rate of evaporation is slower compared to warmer temperatures.


Does it get cold as water droplets evaporate?

yes it does


Can water evaporate in cold weather in ten days?

Absolutely. Water can evaporate in almost any conditions.


Which water will evaporate first Hot Medium or Cold?

Hot water will evaporate first because the higher temperature causes the water molecules to move faster, increasing the rate of evaporation. Cold water has slower-moving molecules, resulting in a slower rate of evaporation.


Why does cold water left overnight evaporate?

Water is evaporated at any temperature.


How long does cold water evaporate under a lamp?

a few days or weeks. It might even take months depending on how hot the lamp is and how much cold water you're trying to evaporate.


Will the winter affect a cold air intake?

Cold, no. Water from rain/melted snow, yes. If there are big puddles and flooding, do not drive with a cold air intake on your car, as water in your engine can ruin it internally.


Are polar regions dry?

Because its too cold for any water to evaporate and precipitate back down to earth I think you meant to say that it is too cold for water to CONDENSE and precipitate back down to earth. If it is too dry, water WILL evaporate.


Why does boiling water turn to vapor in the cold?

Boiling water turns to vapor in the cold because the temperature difference between the hot water and the cold air causes the water to evaporate and turn into vapor.


Why does warm water evaperate faster than cold water?

Because the warmness from the sun helps it evaporate
