Krish Fox · Answer 2

A solid can evaporate by melting into a liquid, which then evaporates; or by changing instantly into a vapor, or subliming. The rate of evaporation of a substance depends on its surface temperature, the pressure, and the humidity. Evaporation is the procedure by which a liquid or a solid changes into a vapor. A substance may evaporate by changing into a vapor at the surface, as when water evaporates from an uncovered dish.
