Solution

  1. Wet clothes absorb the heat of the sun.
  2. The molecules of water present inside the clothes acquire sufficient kinetic energy to overcome the pull of cloth molecules.
  3. The molecules of water leave the cloth surface.
  4. This is the process of evaporation.

Hence, the wet clothes dry after sometime when put in the sun.
