When you rub sanitizer on your hands, it feels cool because the evaporation of alcohol absorbs heat from your skin. This cooling effect occurs as the sanitizer evaporates and dries off.
The water in an earthen pot is cold because the porous material allows evaporation of water from the surface. This process absorbs heat, lowering the temperature of the remaining water inside the pot.
Clouds give us rain when water vapor in them cools and condenses into tiny droplets. These droplets combine to form larger droplets, which eventually fall to Earth as precipitation due to gravity.
If evaporation ceased, water wouldn’t turn into vapor to form clouds or precipitation. This would disrupt the water cycle, leading to droughts, reduced freshwater availability, and severe impacts on ecosystems and agriculture.
