Abstract: Water evaporation is currently perceived as a predominantly mechanical phenomenon. This perception is due to the predominance of views based on classical thermodynamics, using the concept of an ideal gas, and, consequently, on molecular kinetic theory. Therefore, the fact that water vapor is always positively charged is perceived as a curiosity. Since this approach is unsatisfactory, it is proposed here to perceive the evaporation of water as a phenomenon caused by the electromagnetic forces of the Earth. In this regard, it is proposed here to take into account the existence of an upward Lorentz force arising as a result of the daily movement of the earth’s surface relative to the geomagnetic field lines. The productivity of this perception of water evaporation is shown here.
