Solution

Evaporation:

  1. The change of a substance from its liquid state to its gaseous state at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation.
  2. During the process of evaporation, the liquids absorb heat from the surroundings which causes a cooling effect.
  3. The area of the exposed surface, the temperature of the liquid, the temperature of the surroundings, the nature of the liquid, the presence of wind, and the presence of moisture in the air are the factors on which evaporation depends.
  4. Sweating is the human body's way to keep cool through the evaporation of liquid released from the sweat glands.

Hence, sweat from our bodies evaporates by taking water from the body.
