Definition and Explanation
Evaporation Condensation
Process of turning liquid into vapor or gas at a Conversion of gas or vapor into liquid when
temperature below boiling . cooled.
Examples in Everyday Life
1 Drying Clothes 2 Fog Formation
Evaporation of water from wet clothes Condensation of water vapor in the air
,

when exposed to air and sunlight. leading to fog creation

Characteristics of Evaporation and
Condensation
1 Evaporation
Natural process driven by energy from the sun s heat
' .

2 Condensation
Occurs when air is cooled leading to dew formation or cloud formation
