Detailed explanation-1: -Evaporation happens when a liquid turns into a gas. It can be easily visualized when rain puddles “disappear” on a hot day or when wet clothes dry in the sun. In these examples, the liquid water is not actually vanishing-it is evaporating into a gas, called water vapor. Evaporation happens on a global scale.

Detailed explanation-2: -Whenever a liquid turns into a gas, the particles absorb heat energy and begin to vibrate faster, increasing the separation between them. Intermolecular interactions weaken as a result of continual vibration, and molecules begin to move apart and transform into gas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Boiling and Evaporation: Evaporation is the change of a substance from a liquid to a gas. Boiling is the change of a liquid to a vapor, or gas, throughout the liquid.
