Answer the following questions: 
  
1. Explain why the cooling effect of a desert cooler is greater on a hot, dry day compared to a humid one.
 
The is high and less humid on a hot, dry day which enables better evaporation. High levels of this  provide better cooling effects.
 
2. Explain the cooling effect observed in water stored in an earthen pot during hot weather.
 
Evaporates take latent , and removal of latent heat results in cooling. Earthen pots have tiny pores through which the water seeps, and leads to cooling the substance.
