Answer 2

Hint: We need to know that in the water cycle, evaporation occurs when sunlight warms the surface of the water. The heat from the sun makes the water molecules move faster and faster, until they move so fast they escape as a gas. Once evaporated, a molecule of water vapor spends about ten days in the air.

Complete answer:

The process of water changing into its vapor is called evaporation. The evaporation of water takes place in sunlight. Water vapor condenses to form tiny droplets of water in the upper layers of air where it is cooler. Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas. When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor. Heat from the sun, or solar energy, powers the evaporation process.

Water constantly moves around the Earth and changes between solid, liquid and gas. This all depends on the Sun's energy. The vapor rises into the air where cooler temperatures cause it to condense into clouds. Air currents move clouds around the globe; cloud particles collide, grow, and fall out of the sky as precipitation.

So it can be concluded that evaporation can take place at any time not specifically in sunlight.

Therefore, the statement is false.

Note:

We must know that the process where liquid matter turns to gas is called evaporation while the process where gas turns to liquid is condensation. Water vapor is in gas form and when turned to water, condensation takes place and not evaporation.
