What is evaporation?
The process in which a liquid changes into its vapour state at a temperature below the boiling point is called evaporation. Evaporation is an endothermic process i.e., the liquid absorbs heat during evaporation. This heat may be provided either by the surrounding or by the liquid itself. When the evaporating liquid takes the required heat from other parts of the liquid, the rest of the liquid cools down.
