Vedclass · Answer

(B) An earthen pot (matka) has a large number of tiny pores on its surface.Water seeps through these pores and reaches the outer surface of the pot.This water evaporates continuously due to the heat of the surroundings.Since the process of evaporation is an endothermic process that requires energy (latent heat of vaporization),it absorbs this heat from the remaining water inside the pot.As a result,the temperature of the water inside the pot decreases,making it cool.

How does the water kept in an earthen pot (matka) become cool during summer?
