Eli5 how do wet things dry?

Question

So if your clothes are wet and you hang them out to dry, what is happening to the water? Where does it go? Assuming it’s below 100C so it’s not evaporating

Answer 1

Evaporation can happen at any temperature as long as the water molecules are in constant random motion. Water molecules near the surface of the liquid that has enough speed and energy will become a water vapor (gas).
