Heating itThe action that would change a liquid into a gas faster is heating it, because heat provides energy to the molecules. When a liquid is heated, the particles move more quickly, and this increases their chances of breaking free from the liquid’s surface into the air as gas. This process is called evaporation if it happens slowly at the surface or boiling if it happens throughout the liquid at its boiling point. Other factors can also make a liquid evaporate faster, like increasing surface area, reducing air pressure, or blowing air across the liquid. However, heat remains the most effective way because it directly adds energy to molecules. In real life, this explains why wet clothes dry faster under the sun compared to being indoors.
