• In which place will the clothes on a clothesline dry quickly? Why?
• In which place will they dry slowly? Why?
• Will the atmospheric conditions at these places always remain the same or will they change?

Answer 1

• The clothes will dry quickly in Bhopal because the weather is hot and sunny. The heat of the Sun increases evaporation, so water from the clothes dries faster.
• The clothes will dry slowly in Kochi because the weather is cloudy. There is less sunlight, and the air may contain more moisture, so evaporation takes place slowly.
• The atmospheric conditions will not always remain the same. They keep changing from time to time due to changes in temperature, humidity, wind, clouds, and rainfall. Therefore, the weather in Kochi, Bhopal, and Mussoorie can change during the day or on different days.
