If more solute is added to the solution and the solute remains undissolved, then you know that solution is saturated.

Direct evidence are visible noticable changes. Indirect evidence is when you might not see the action happen but you do notice the results
Sunspots and convection cells
No. On the visible and even the microscopic level a solution is indistinguishable from a pure substance.
Visible characteristics are characteristics that are visible. Haha no but they are your outside features.
The presence of undissolved solute at the bottom of a container, the absence of visible changes in the solution after more solute is added, and reaching a point where the solute starts to precipitate out of the solution are all evidence that a solution is saturated.
A saturated solution has achieved equilibrium between solute and solvent when the solute is still visible after mixing. This means that the solvent has dissolved as much solute as it can at that particular temperature and pressure, resulting in a saturated solution.
An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute at a given temperature, whereas a saturated solution contains the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved in the solvent at that temperature. You can tell the difference by observing whether there is still undissolved solute present in the solution (unsaturated) or if the solution is clear with no solute visible (saturated).
When dry HCl gas is passed through a saturated solution of sodium chloride (NaCl), no visible reaction occurs. The sodium chloride remains dissolved in the water, as HCl gas does not react with NaCl in this situation.
The maximum amount of solute is dissolved in it-apex
A solution is considered saturated when it has reached the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature. This can be determined by observing that no more solute dissolves and there may be visible undissolved solute at the bottom of the container. Additionally, the concentration of the solute in the solution remains constant at saturation.
Under normal conditions, supersaturated solutions won't take more solute. Of course, you can heat, cool, agitate, etc., the solution to reach something called supersaturation, where solutions can be conned into taking more solute.
A saturated solution contains a liquid (solvent) and a solid (solute). In a solution that dissolves, the solute dissolves in the solvent. An example of this is table salt (NaCl) in Water (H20). When you stir some salt into water, it dissolves. However, when there is too much salt in proportion to water, there are leftovers at the bottom. This indicates that the solution is saturated. Put simply, It means that there is not enough solvent to dissolve the solute. This happens because of dipole forces of the solvent attracting to ends of the solute. In a salt water solution, there needs to be about 6 water molecules to every 1 salt molecule. When there is too much of the salt, the solid falls to the bottom (precipitate). An Unsaturated solution is simply one that has not passed this critical ratio of molecules.
There was no visible evidence of tampering.
You can tell when a solution is saturated because if it is, you can see solid particles of the solute in the liquid. These particles do not dissolve even if the solution is stirred vigourously.
No. If a saturated solution is heated, it will no longer be fully saturated. Water at 25°C will be saturated with sugar at a ratio of 100 grams of sugar to 100 grams of water. At 50°C it would take 130 grams of sugar to reach saturation. See this link for a full explanation: http://www.scienceclarified.com/Ro-Sp/Solution.html
It typically takes 1-2 weeks to grow visible copper sulfate crystals in a saturated solution at room temperature. The size of the crystals and the conditions of the solution can affect the growth rate.
