Why water evaporates in sunshine?

Evaporation is a process whereby atoms or molecules in a liquid state (or solid state if the substance sublimes) gain sufficient energy to enter the gaseous state.

The rate of evaporation depends on a number of factors:

1. Concentration of the substance evaporating in the air: If the air already has a high concentration of the substance evaporating, then the given substance will evaporate more slowly.

2. Concentration of other substances in the air: If the air is already saturated with other substances, it can have a lower capacity for the substance evaporating.

3. Concentration of other substances in the liquid: If the liquid contains other substances (such as salts), it will have a lower capacity for evaporation. This is due to Raoult's law.

4. Temperature of the substance: If the substance is hotter, then evaporation will be faster.

5. Flow rate of air: This is in part related to the concentration points above. If fresh air is moving over the substance all the time, then the concentration of the substance in the air is less likely to go up with time, thus encouraging faster evaporation. In addition, molecules in motion have more energy than those at rest, and so the stronger the flow of air, the greater the evaporating power of the air molecules.

6. Inter-molecular forces: The stronger the forces keeping the molecules together in the liquid or solid state the more energy that must be input in order to evaporate them.

Now one can understand why evaporation of water increases in sunshine. It is primarily because of the increased temperature and probably also due to the increased flow of air during sunshine.

Why water evaporates in sunshine?performing shows

When water exceeds its boiling point it evaporates......

Water absorbs sun's heat and its temperature increases and finally evaporates...

Why water evaporates in sunshine?say yes opera theater

because its heated to the stage where the liquid becomes gas (vapour) and so it goes into the air
because of the heat from the sun!!
It is not because of sunshine that water evaporates. Water evaporates as heat emitted from the sun causes the water particles to increase in temperature and hence evaporate to form clouds which then condense to form rain later.
Water acquires latent heat and gets converted to steam.

Energy provided by sun's rays are enough for the water particles to gain required latent heat.
heat of sun transferred to the water molecules. the molecules escape the cohesive forces that hold them together...getting to become steam a gas!
The Heat from sun when falls on water, the upper layer of water acts like magnifier or can be said as magnifying glass. This phenomenon bring all rays of sun together to form a concentrated beam of sun ray which boils water or evepourates it. Try out with paper and magnifier. paper burns with suns rays when all rays are brought together with magnifier.
