I understand how water molecules become gaseous when heated to 100 degrees, but there is no point in drying when the clothes would get that hot, so how does the water leave the clothes?
In: Physics
Basically because water likes to move from a wet place to a dry place…
if the air around the clothes is drier than the clothes water will move from wet to dry.
its why its horrible to try to dry your clothes on a hot humid day( it’s also why it’s so hard to sweat properly )
if you put your clothes on an outside dryer the winds will blow through them bringing in drier air and thus encourage more movement of wet to dry.
when the weather is hot( but not humid) the air expands( or rather the molecules) and thus there is more space to absorb more water, hence the air will be even drier.
