The surface area affects evaporation because if more area is exposed to air, allowing water molecules acquire more heat energy from the surroundings. Due to the increased heat energy (kinetic energy), there is more rapid movement of the water molecules which helps them to overcome the force of attraction and evaporate.
However, increasing the temperature of a body of water also often increases evaporation. This is because as the temperature rises, the water molecules begin moving about more rapidly. This increases the odds that molecules will escape. Warmer air also affectsthe speed of evaporation.
Humidity is nothing but saturation of atmosphere with water vapour(molecules). More humid is the air,more water it contains. So with more humidity the water intake capacity of air decrease i.e.it gets more saturated. ... So naturally with more humiditythe evapouration rate decreases.

Hey friend here is your answer!!!☺️☺️
First of all evaporation is the conversion of state from liquid to gas at any temperature.
now it depends and gets affected on certain factors-
1. Surface Area - As the surface area increases there is a more contact of liquid to the container so that evaporation increase.
so if surface area increase then evaporation increase.
2. temperature - As the temperature increases then the temp provided be more so it will help in fast and more evaporation .
So if temperature increases then evaporation also increase.
3. Humidity - As the amount of water is already high in atmosphere, the rate of evaporation decreases. the capacity of atmosphere to absorb water has decreased. in terms of partial pressure, as the pressure of water is high in atmosphere, the rate of evaporation decreases.
☺️hope it help☺️
