Question

why do we prefer to SIP hot tea with a saucer rather than a cup

Answer 1

It is an evaporation phenomenon .
Saucer has bigger area as compared to cup.

The rate of Evaporation is faster in bigger area.

Hence we are able to sip hot tea with saucer rather than a cup

Answer 2

One of the important factors to determine the rate of evaporation is surface area. The surface area of a cup is much smaller than a saucer so the rate of evaporation in a cup would be lesser than that of a saucer.  Hence the tea would cool faster in the saucer than in the cup and thus we prefer to sip hot tea with a saucer rather than a cup. Pls mark as the brainliest.
