The slow process of turning of liquids to vapor form is called Evaporation.
The factors which effect the rate of evaporation are:

1. Wind assists evaporation.

2. Heat assists evaporation.

3. Increase in surface area exposed assists evaporation.

4. Dryness assists evaporation.

5. Rate of evaporation depends upon the nature of the liquid.

6. Vapor pressure: if pressure is applied on the surface of a liquid, evaporation is hindered
