Solution

Evaporation:

  1. Evaporation is a phase transition from liquid to gas that occurs at temperatures lower than the boiling point at a given pressure.
  2. Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of liquids and involves the transformation of liquid particles into gaseous particles.
  3. As a result, this process is said to involve a change in the matter state of liquids.
  4. We wear cotton clothing in the summer.
  5. Cotton, being a good water absorber, allows more sweat to come into contact with the atmosphere, resulting in more evaporation. This is why we feel cooler when we wear cotton clothing.
