Detailed explanation-1: -Evaporation is the process that changes liquid water to gaseous water (water vapor). Water moves from the Earth’s surface to the atmosphere via evaporation. Evaporation occurs when energy (heat) forces the bonds that hold water molecules together to break.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the water cycle, evaporation occurs when sunlight warms the surface of the water. The heat from the sun makes the water molecules move faster and faster, until they move so fast they escape as a gas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evaporation is the process by which a liquid turns into a gas. It is also one of the three main steps in the global water cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Water at the Earth’s surface evaporates into water vapor which rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.

Detailed explanation-5: -By definition, evaporation is a process where water changes into a vapour. Condensation is the opposite process, where water vapour is converted to tiny droplets of water. Evaporation occurs before a liquid reaches its boiling point. Condensation is a phase change regardless of the temperature.
