What Factors Most Affect Evaporation? Intermediate-Level Science Projects Which Materials Insulate Best Against Windchill? Do Clouds Tell Us What Weather Is Coming? What Factors Most Affect Evaporation? Evaporation of a substance such as water occurs when the molecules in a liquid state absorb enough heat energy to vaporize into a gas. The heat energy‚ which causes the molecules to move‚ is called kinetic energy. The water molecules remain the same during this change‚ except that they’re
