Solution

Step: 1: Definition of humidity:
1. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. If there is a lot of water vapor in the air, the humidity will be high.

Step: 2: Effect of humidity on the rate of evaporation:

  1. Humidity, or water vapor content of the air, also has an effect on evaporation.
  2. If humidity is high, it will be difficult for liquid to add more vapor to air as there is already a high amount of vapor, therefore with the increase in humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases, while the lower the relative humidity, the drier the air, and the higher the evaporation rate.

Thus, the wet clothes dry quickly under the conditions of low humidity of the air
