Why does evaporation causes cooling of a liquid system ?

Solution
Due to evaporation, only high energy particles leave the surface. This results in decrease of average kinetic energy of the particles in the system. The particle of liquid absorb energy from the surrounding to regain the energy lost during evapotation. This absorption of energy from the surroundings make the liquid cool.
