Thickness (viscosity) of a liquid and evaporation rate are two different things that generally derive from the molecular weight and what makes up the molecules in the liquid. As the molecular weight of similar materials (straight chain hydrocarbons, for example) increases viscosity tends to increase and the evaporation rate tends to fall (boiling point increases). However, it is not correct to say that all liquids with the same molecular weight have the same viscosity and evaporation rate as a lot of other things affect this.

the thickness of a liquid affects its evaporation rate because the heat that making it evaporate takes more time to get the molecules to change because the thickness makes it generally closer to a solid but no fully. And by the way a solid can't evaporate.

The thicker the liquid, the more solids in it
and solids don't evaporate . . . I think . . .

i think of New Zealand because of the fact of their very undesirable results of try cricket. those days England has defeated New Zealand very badly additionally their overall performance in comparison to stable now. So, i think of New Zealand is the main decrease than rated try cricket team interior the international or i think of South Africa is the main efficient try cricket team interior the international.

the thicker it is, the longer it will take to evaporate.
