Question

Why are we able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup?

Answer 1

It is easier to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than from a cup because of evaporation . As we know that evaporation depends on surface area. If the surface area is more rate of evaporation is faster . And evaporation causes cooling. So if the surface area is more rate of evaporation is faster and so is the cooling rate. Hence we are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than from a cup.
