Question

Washed clothes dry faster on a windy day than on a calm day. Why?

Answer 1

• Washed clothes dry up due to evaporation.
• Evaporation is the process by which water is converted to water vapor form at room temperature.
• Temperature, humidity, surface area, and wind speed are the factors that affect the evaporation process.
• As wind speed increases, the rate of evaporation also increases.
• On a windy day, the wind speed will be higher and hence the evaporation rate will also increase.
