प्रश्न
How does the water kept in an earthen pot remain cool?
Advertisements
उत्तर
An earthen pot consists of small pores from which the water inside the pot constantly seeps out and gets evaporated due to the presence of high temperature around it. The evaporation process requires heat which is acquired from the surface of the pot, hence making the water and the pot cooler.
