Dewvaporation

Hey there little one! Let me explain what dewvaporation means. You know how in the morning, sometimes you see dew drops on leaves and grass? That's because at night, when the air is cooler, water in the air turns into little droplets on surfaces that are cooler than the surrounding air. That process is called condensation.

Now, when the sun comes up and things start to warm up, the water droplets on leaves and grass start to disappear. That's because the warmth of the sun causes the water to turn back into water vapor and go back into the air. This process is called evaporation.

Dewvaporation is a combination of these two processes - it's when the sun causes the water droplets on leaves and grass to evaporate back into the air. The warmer it gets, the faster the water will evaporate, and eventually, all those little droplets will disappear.

So, there you have it! Dewvaporation is just a fancy way of saying that the dew on leaves and grass disappears in the sun because of evaporation.
