Difference between Evaporation and boiling

Evaporation

Boiling

Evaporation is the process in which liquid is converted into water vapours.

The process in which liquid is gets converted into gaseous state is called boiling.
Evaporation leads to cooling of the surface.

Boiling does not lead to cooling.

Evaporation takes place throughout the liquid.

Takes place over the water surface.

Boiling Takes place throughout the liquid.

Evaporation occurs at  a fixed temperature for any Liquid.

Boiling takes place at different temperatures depending upon the liquid.

When evaporation takes place there is no formation of bubbles.

Boiling leads to bubble formation in the liquid.

Evaporation is slow Process. Takes time to convert into vapours.

Boiling is Fast process than evaporation. But it needs a high energy heating source.
The temperature of the liquid body After  the evaporation is Occurs get Reduced.

The temperature of the liquid does not reduced in boiling it remains constant.

Evaporation is the process which continues till the air above liquid surface remains unsaturated.

Boiling is the process which continues till the internal and external temperature remains equal.
Evaporation is the process occurs before the liquid reaches to boiling point.

Boiling occurs after the Evaporation of liquid starts.

Evaporation needs a heating source, like sunlight or surrounding temperature.

Boiling need a strong heating source like lamp, stove etc.
Example for evaporation is –  wet clothes get dried after placed under the sunlight.

Example for boiling – water has the boiling point 100°c . It starts boiling when we place it over the stove.
