The affecting factors of evaporation : 

1. Temperature,

3. Wind speed, 

4. Humidity.

The affection on the rate of evaporation : 

1) Temperature : As the temperature increases evaporation increases. 

2) Surface area : As the surface area of liquid increases, more molecules tend to leave the surface. So rate of evaporation increases. 

3) Wind speed : As the wind speed increases rate of evaporation increases. 

4) Humidity : As the humidity increases rate of evaporation decreases.
