| Occurrance | Large mass | only on surface |
| Amount temperature involved | Boiling happens when the temperature reaches to the boiling point. | In Evaporation the temperature does not need to reach to boiling point |
| Bubble Formation | Bubble formation is visible | Bubbles do not form in evaporation |
