Why are we able to sip hot tea or

milk faster from a saucer rather than a cup? 

Answer - When hot tea or milk is kept in a saucer, the liquid is exposed over a larger surface area as compared to in case of the liquid being kept in a

cup. 

The larger surface area enables the faster

cooling. That’s why we are able to sip hot tea or milk faster from a saucer rather than from a cup.
