How long does it take for a cup of room temperature water to evaporate in the sun?

There are other factors to consider. Outside temperature. If you are at the artic in below zero weather the water would freeze before if evaporates. Altitude. Higher altitude on a mountain gives a lower boiling point, ant at the same temperature, would evaporate faster. Humidity. High humidity will slow the rate of evaporation. Size of the cup. A measuring cup is 8 ounces. A tea cup is less, recent cup sizes for coffee have increased to ridiculous size.


How do high-altitude locations affect breathing rate?

The amount of oxygen is same. The partial pressure of oxygen is lower at higher altitude. The reason why lungs must work harder is because oxygen is required in the body to supply hemoglobins in the blood. The affinity of hemoglobin to oxygen becomes lower as the partial pressure of oxygen decreases, creating a higher breathing rate in order to acquire more oxygen. Take an example of llama that lives up high in mountains. Their body is well adapted to it, such that their hemoglobin's affinity to oxygen is much higher than that of humans, and does not require extra work in order to acquire more oxygen.
