Question

how does evaporation cause cooling?

Answer 1

as it absorbs heat from the surroundings.

Answer 2

In simple, when the liquid turns into gas it needs heat to evaporate. ... As the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid decreases. This phenomenon is also called evaporative cooling. This is why evaporating sweat cools the human body.
