a puddle of water will evaporate faster because it has a larger surface area that is, it has more of its moleccules in contact with the air

Yes, the more air the same amount of water can cover, the faster it will evaporate. In a glass, there is much water that gets tiny amounts of air under the surface and not enough to evaporate. If the same amount of water was poured on a level flat surface (no puddle), it would evaporate very quickly.

Would water evaporate faster in a wide glass than in a narrow?

Water evaporate faster in a wide glass than in a narrower glass.


Why does water evaporate faster when you jump in a puddle?

A higher area of water is exposed to atmosphere.


Does a glass of water evaporate faster with a lid or without?

A glass of water will generally evaporate slower with a lid on compared to without a lid. This is because the lid prevents the water vapor from escaping into the surrounding environment, leading to reduced evaporation.


Does water evaporate faster in a dark glass or clear glass?

It depends on how much light is shining on the glass. If there is a lot, then the water in the dark glass will evaporate faster because the temperature will be higher. If there is no light, then it does not matter.


How long does it take for a puddle of water to evaporate?

The time it takes for a puddle of water to evaporate depends on various factors, such as humidity, temperature, and size of the puddle. In general, a small puddle may evaporate within a few hours to a day, while a larger puddle could take a few days or longer to completely evaporate.


How can you make water in a glass evaporate faster?

You can make water in a glass evaporate faster by increasing the temperature in the room, adding heat directly to the glass, increasing air circulation around the glass, or lowering the humidity in the room.


What will happen if a puddle of water is left at room water?

Why do puddle dry up?

Water tends to evaporate.


Does Water evaporate faster in a wide glass or narrow glass?

A tall, skinny glass will freeze water faster than a short, wide glass.This is because the tall glass allows convection (cold particles in the air to transfer cold to the water particles in the glass) to take place between more particles at once due to a tall glass having a larger surface area.


What type of energy causes a rain puddle to disappear on a sunny day?

It increases its temperature and causes the water particles to move faster and faster until they evaporate (become a gas)


Where did the water evaporate faster?

Water evaporate faster in countries with a warm climate.


What state of matter can make a puddle disapearpear?

The liquid state of water in a puddle can evaporate and turn into water vapor, causing the puddle to disappear.
