Why is the water in the earthen pot so cold?

  • 2

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.

  1. Water in an earthen pot remains cool due to the pot’s porous nature. The tiny pores allow water to seep through and evaporate from the surface of the pot. As water evaporates, it absorbs heat from the remaining water inside, reducing its temperature. This cooling effect makes the water inside the pot cooler than the surrounding air. This traditional method of cooling leverages evaporation to maintain a lower temperature in the water.
