Evaporation is the process that changes liquid water into water vapor, occurring when water molecules gain enough energy to break hydrogen bonds and escape as gas. This process requires energy absorption and primarily takes place at the liquid's surface. Evaporation can happen at any temperature and results in the cooling of the remaining liquid water.
