Here is the answer to your question!

The size of the Naphthalene ball decreases when left for a while because;

Naphthalene is a volatile solid; therefore it changes into vapour when kept outside.

Thus it's size decreases.

It changes into vapour completely and leaves no solid.

Sublimation of naphthalene occurs.
