Si l'atmosphère est limitée, l'évaporation cesse quand la pression de vapeur a la même valeur de saturation que dans le vide, mais cet équilibre n'est pas atteint aussi rapidement. Si l'atmosphère est illimitée, tout le liquide finit par s'évaporer. 2, record 3, French, - %C3%A9vaporation

En météorologie, l'eau s'évapore à une température inférieure à celle du point d'ébullition, aussi parle-t-on surtout d'évaporation plutôt que de vaporisation (qui constitue une notion moins spécifique que l'évaporation. 3, record 3, French, - %C3%A9vaporation
