Which will evaporate faster a glass of water or a puddle of water?

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.


Why is there zero humidity in cold weather?

It takes energy for water to evaporate and remain in the air as a gas. When it is cold, there is less heat energy available and most of the water condenses as dew or frost. However, there is never zero humidity, even when it's very cold - as long as there is water in the environment (and there is water everywhere, even the desert), there will be some level of humidity.


Why does the glass of water evaporate when you throw it outside?

the glass of water evaporates because the hot sun heats up the water molecules and makes them move around faster and faster until it gets enough energy to transform itself into gas thus evaporating ............________________.

What would would happen if water could evaporate but could not condense?

If water could evaporate but not condense, the water cycle would be disrupted. This would lead to a significant loss of water from the Earth's surface, resulting in droughts, reduced precipitation, and potential long-term impacts on ecosystems and weather patterns. Overall, it would have serious consequences on global water availability and balance.


If the temperature of an air mass increases by 20oc would the relavative humidity increases or decreases?

If the temperature of an air mass increases by 20°C, its relative humidity would decrease. This is because warmer air can hold more water vapor, so the ratio of water vapor present in the air compared to its capacity will be lower, leading to a decrease in relative humidity.

Would sweat evaporate more quickly if the humidity were 92 percent or 37 percent?

I believe when you said Humidity, it meant Relative Humidity. When RH is more, in your case 92 percent, the air can absorb less water than the RH is at 37 percent. That is the reason we sweat when the humidity is more in the atmosphere. High temperature with less atmospheric RH is popularly known as DRY heat, where your sweat will readily evaporate and you will never know you are perspiring until you feel dizzy or faint out with sun stroke.


How long would it take for water to evaporate if the relative humidity was 100 percent?

Water would not evaporate at 100 percent relative humidity because the air already holds the maximum amount of water vapor it can. This means no additional water can evaporate into the air until the humidity decreases.


What are facts about humidity?

Relative Humidity is measured with a HygrometerHumidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.On hot days, when it feels sticky, the humidity would then be high.


What is the percent of relative humidity when raining?

Relative humidity can vary during rain, depending on factors such as temperature and amount of precipitation. Generally, during rain, relative humidity tends to be close to 100% due to the presence of moisture in the air from the rain.


Would the average relative humidity on a rainy day be closer to 100 percent humidity or 50 percent humidity?

The average relative humidity on a rainy day would be closer to 100 percent humidity. Rain adds moisture to the air, increasing the humidity levels to near saturation point. This leads to a higher average relative humidity compared to a non-rainy day.

Why do we sweat more in humidity?

It is actually not a matter of sweating more but of it being more difficult to evaporate the sweat. If you are in a dry and windy place it is very simple for sweat to evaporate, in a more humid area there is more water in the air already and therefore makes evaporation of the sweat much more difficult. Then it would appear that you sweat more because you are seeing the sweat, however it is a matter of evaporation.


Which factor out of wind or teperaure will make water evapororate faster?

Temperature will make water evaporate more quickly than wind. Wind will just separate the water molecules, which would then cause them to evaporate a little more quickly.


How long would it take for 5 ml of water to evaporate?

How hot? How much surface area? What is the humidity in the ambient air? Your question cannot be answered without more information.
