Question

Explain why the puddle dries out more rapidly than the water in the dish.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Water spilled on the floor evaporates faster because it has a larger surface area in comparison to the same amount of water in a glass. A large surface area increases the likelihood that water molecules in the surface escape to the atmosphere.

Answer 2

Answer:

Typically, on a windy day a puddle of rain dries quickly, but if it's not windy, the puddle takes a lot longer to dry. This is because the faster the air moves across the surface of water, the more molecules escape from the liquid so the evaporation rate increases.
