b'coz earthen pot absorbs the heat away from the water...

in an earthen pot the water comes out through the pores and makes the entire surface of the pot wet.now when this water evaporates it takes heat frm the water in the pot ,thereby decreasing the heat content of the water inside.so now water keeps coming out and evaporise ,however the water also keeps taking heat frm the surrounding thus after some time an equilibrium is reached and the water remains at this reduced temp

the water from within the pot comes out through the pores of the earthen pot and evaporates on the surface creating heat energy loss and also the clay being a bad conductor of heat maintains the lowered temperature of the water.

Because the earthen pot is porous, and as the water seeps to the outside, it evaporates which induces evaporative cooling.

Water is soaked into the pot, then it continuosly evaporates from the surface of the pot. While evaporating, it absorbs the heat from its surroundings, thus absorbing heat from the water. This cools the water in the pot!!
P.S. from ur science textbook?

because earthen pots absorb heat form water
and it has a much lower heat capacity than water

i never thought of that but i think its cuz no air passes through the pot thats why it stays cool,so does a house made of clay too(like the mud/clay) houses in africa

It sweats, really, this allows the water to cool.
