what happens to water during evaporation? it changes from a solid to a liquid. it changes from a liquid to a solid. it changes from a liquid to a gas. it changes from a gas to a liquid.
Evaporation is a process in the water cycle. In evaporation, water (in liquid state) absorbs heat energy. This heat energy causes the water molecules to gain kinetic energy. As a result, the water molecules overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid state and escape into the atmosphere as water vapor (gas state).
