Try it yourself...leave a cup of water in a glass on your front porch and put another cup of water on a cookie sheet next to the glass (on the porch). When you come back from work/school today measure the containers by pouring their contents back into the measuring cup you used. Analyze the results.

Yes i agreee..
This is because more surface area is under contact of air and hence more liquid can get evaporated...

the evaporation is proportional to the surface area of liquid as there is more area for the heat of the sun to spread to

Nope!
The RATE of evaporation is constant, that is a certain amount of water per unit of time per unit of surface.
The AMOUNT of evaporation depends on the SURFACE.

I agress with "just JR", say water....each watre molecule needs a certain amount of energy to evaportate, the SA does not matter, only the total energy in the system.
