Question

How does surface area affect evaporation?

Answer 1

An estimated value of 90% of the water in the atmosphere comes from Earth's water. Some water evaporates from the water on land, but the majority of the water vapor evaporates from the water on Earth's oceans. The ocean covers most of Earth's surface. As a result, the oceans receive most of the solar energy that reaches Earth.

Answer 2

The surface area affects evaporation because the more area exposed to air allowing water to acquire more heat energy hope this helps :)
