Answer 2

During summer, water kept in an earthen pot becomes cool because of the

phenomenon of Evaporation.

Explanation:

• Water placed in earthen pots is evaporated from minuscule pores it has as it is made of mud particles. This evaporation of water produces a cooling effect. Some of the heat energy that is generated is used in the process of evaporation. Hence, water stored in earthen pots tends to become cooler in summer.
