2. Steps for digital thermometer:
   Turn on → Wait for ‘L’ → Place under tongue/arm → Wait for beep → Read → Clean tip
3. Water Cycle:
   
   
   Evaporation (liquid → vapour)
   Condensation (vapour → clouds)
   Precipitation (rain/snow)
   Runoff/Collection (rivers/oceans)
4. Solution vs Suspension:
   Solution: Homogeneous, particles invisible, do not settle (e.g., salt water).
   Suspension: Heterogeneous, particles visible, settle on standing (e.g., muddy water).

   Temperature ↑ → Faster drying (hot day).
   Surface area ↑ → Faster (spread clothes).
   Humidity ↑ → Slower (humid day).
   Wind speed ↑ → Faster (breeze).
