Evaporation is the process of changing liquid into its gaseous state.

Evaporation is directly proportional to the temperature. When liquid is heated
up, its particles absorbs kinetic energy which results in vibration of particles.
This vibration will break the bonds causing vapors to form. The energy needed
to break bonds depends on the type of liquid or surrounding temperature. If the
surrounding temperature is high, you will need less energy to vaporize liquid
and vice versa. When vapor pressure equalizes atmospheric pressure, liquid
starts to boil. This is called boiling point. Boiling point and evaporation have an
inverse relationship. When the humidity is high, evaporation will decrease
because air holds more water vapors. When temperature decreases, humidity
increases and vice versa. Temperature affects the rate of evaporation. Higher
the temperature, more the molecules move, escaping from the surface of a
liquid. If we take two glass of same size with water filled and put one in warm
and other in cold place. If we analyze after one hour we will find greater
change in warmer place glass and no change in colder place glass. This
shows that change in evaporation is due to change in temperature.
