Surface area: As the surface area increases, the rate of evaporation increases. The surface area and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other. Humidity: The rate of evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity. Wind speed: Increase in wind speed results in increased evaporation.

Evaporation :-
The phenomena of changing liquid state into gaseous state at any temperature below its boiling point is called as evaporation. It is a surface phenomena.
Factors affecting Evaporation -
a ) Surface area.
b ) Temperature.
c ) Humidity.
d ) Wind speed.
● Surface area :- Increase in surface area , increases evaporation. eg :- Tea in saucer gets evaporated faster than tea in a cup.
● Temperature :- Increase in temperature, increase in rate of evaporation. eg :- Water will evaporate faster in sun than in shade.
● Humidity :- Decrease in humidity, increases evaporation. eg :- on hot humid day, desert coolers are not effective as the air cannot hold anymore moisture to get the cooling effect.
● Wind speed :- An increase in wind speed, increases the rate of evaporation. eg :- The particles of water move away with the wind, decreasing the amount of water vapour in surroundings.
