Question

what is meant by evaporation?
​

Answer 1

evaporation, process by which an element or compound transitions from its liquid state to its gaseous state below the temperature at which it boils; in particular, the process by which liquid water enters the atmosphere as water vapour in the water cycle.

Answer 2

answer

Evaporation happens when a liquid substance becomes a gas.

Explanation:

When water is heated, it evaporates. The molecules move and vibrate so quickly that they escape into the atmosphere as molecules of water vapor. ... Heat from the sun, or solar energy, powers the evaporation process.
