More About Evaporate
What does听evaporate mean?
Evaporate means to change from a liquid or solid state into vapor (like fog, mist, or steam).
It can be used in a passive way, as in The water evaporated overnight, or an active way, as in The sun evaporates the water on the surface.听
The process of evaporating is called evaporation. Both terms are typically used in the context of water turning into water vapor. Water evaporates when it changes into steam through boiling, but in scientific terms, evaporation typically refers to the change of a liquid into a vapor at a temperature below the boiling point, such as when water evaporates from the surface of the ocean. In this way, evaporation is an important part of the water cycle.
Evaporate can also be used in a figurative way meaning to disappear, as in The family鈥檚 wealth has evaporated, and now they have nothing.听
Example: The dew on the grass evaporates more quickly in the sunny parts of the yard.

When you leave out a glass of water and it eventually dries up, it doesn鈥檛 just disappear鈥攊t evaporates (which, yes, is a bit like disappearing into thin air). Scientifically speaking, evaporation takes place at the surface of a liquid, where the molecules with the highest kinetic energy (the ones with the highest temperature) are able to escape鈥攐ften by floating off into the atmosphere. This means that liquid often evaporates as a result of added heat, such as from a burner on the stove or the sun.
Evaporation is one step in the water cycle, in which water, such as on the surface of oceans, lakes, and other bodies of water, turns into water vapor. The cycle continues as the vapor condenses to form clouds and is then released through precipitation, such as rain and snow.
Evaporation is usually discussed in the context of liquids, but it can happen to solids, too. If you leave ice cubes in your freezer, they鈥檒l eventually evaporate.
