So the molecules move faster.
The particles with the highest kinetic energy are the first to evaporate from a liquid. These particles are usually found near the surface of the liquid where they can break free from intermolecular forces and escape into the air. This process is known as evaporation.
The specific heat of water is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of water by 1 degree Celsius. The heat of vaporization is the energy required to change water from a liquid to a gas (steam) at its boiling point. The heat of fusion is the energy required to change water from a solid to a liquid (melt snow) at its melting point.
The needed energy at 100 oC is 48751 MJ.
The energy required for water to evaporate from a puddle is called latent heat of vaporization. This energy is needed to break the intermolecular bonds between water molecules so that they can escape into the atmosphere as vapor.
Particles need energy to evaporate because evaporation involves overcoming intermolecular forces that hold them together in a liquid state. When a particle gains enough kinetic energy—often from thermal energy—it can break free from these forces and transition into the gaseous phase. This energy allows the particles to escape from the liquid surface, leading to evaporation. Essentially, without sufficient energy, particles remain bound in the liquid.
Energy is required to overcome the intermolecular forces holding liquid molecules together. As the liquid molecules absorb energy from their surroundings, they gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid phase and evaporate into the gas phase.

Molecules at the surface of a liquid absorb kinetic energy (kinetic energy used to disrupt intermolecular forces) and evaporate. (vapor pressure is exerted)
Any liquid can be evaporated. Molecules having more energy can escape from the liquid.
It will get hotter. Eventually it may evaporate.
Liquid water evaporates due to high temperature. Sun's energy help it to evaporate.

When a liquid releases enough energy, it can evaporate and turn into a gas. This process is called vaporization, where the molecules in the liquid gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together as a liquid and escape into the surrounding environment.

One factor that affects the rate of evaporation is temperature. Higher temperatures increase the kinetic energy of water molecules, allowing them to escape the liquid state and evaporate more quickly.
Heat energy from the sun gives the water enough energy to change from a liquid into a gas (evaporation)
