Hello everyone,
I want to tell you about a very simple but interesting thing about how clothes dry in the sun. When I was little, when my mother washed me and put them outside in the yard, I would sit and watch. It seemed to me that the sun was rising up through the clothes and taking out the water! The question that often crossed my mind was, how does water evaporate on clothes in such a hot sun?
After growing up, I realized that this is actually a beautiful game of the sun - a game of science. If there is water on the clothes, the sun evaporates the water. Even though we cannot see it, the water goes into the air in the form of small molecules. This is called evaporation.

I have personally seen this countless times, when hot days come, the clothes dry after a while, but in winter or when it rains, the clothes seem to stay wet indefinitely. This is because on hot days, the temperature of the sun is very high and the air is also dry. Water evaporates easily. But in winter or rainy season, there is a lot of moisture in the air, so the water does not evaporate in the humid air.
I once did a funny thing, I hung one cloth in the house and another in the sun. I noticed that the cloth dried much faster under the sun, while the inside of the house remained wet all day. Then I realized that air circulation is very important, just like the sun. The wind removes the moisture around the cloth, making it easier for new water to evaporate.

We observe all these things every day, but we do not notice how beautiful the science behind it works. One day, when I was drying the clothes, I said to myself,-- Actually, if this sun, wind and heat had not come together,-- then, probably, our clothes would not have dried! One can imagine how these three people are helping us every day, and yet they are doing it without any compensation.
This is another small thing that I noticed, even though there is no sun, when we put the clothes in a place where there is air, that is, on the roof or by the window, they dry, but it may take a little longer. I mean, not only the heat of the sun, but also the wind plays a big role in drying clothes.

This little fact always reminds me that science is not only seen in books, but also in our daily lives. Our lifestyle, our eating, our sleeping, even the process of drying our clothes - everything has a touch of science.
And so today when I put my clothes in the sun to dry, I don't just look at them, but I smile at myself, saying, look, science is working again!

The science behind evaporation is one that left me confused growing up but now I understand it better.
How evaporation works is something that also made me wonder a lot when I was wonder. How our clothes dry up and even the water on the road but with time, I came to understand the science behind it little by little
