Well the definition is the point (temperature) at which water or any other substance is able to evaporate. It depends what substance it is, but for water, it is around the boiling point because when water boils, it also evaporates.

Answer:

Evaporation and boiling are similar as far as the observed results but are different as far as the conditions. Bailing occurs when the vapour pressure of the liquid reached the local atmospheric pressure. In the case of water this would be 100oC at one atmosphere pressure.

Evaporation occurs whenever the relative amount of material in the surrounding air has a lower vapour pressure than the partial pressure of the material in the air. As an example using water again, a puddle of water will still dry up when the air is almost zero as long as the air has a relative humidity of less than 100%

As a consequence the re is bolling point, but no standard evaporation point.

How hot does water have to be in order to evaporate?

depends on air pressure, if you remove air from a container with water in it it can boil at room temp boiling point is the temperature at which water boils and i believe it is also the evaporating point so 100f*
