by convection radiation...the heat from the sun travels to the towel through air molecules(radiation),the heat is then transfer in the towel through water molecules(convection)..thereby gradually drying up the water molecules in the towel

The towel dries by the process of evaporation. The sun heats up the water and changes it to water vapour.

The towel dries by evaporation, a process where heat from the sun warms the water molecules in the towel, allowing them to escape as vapor. Air movement aids this process by carrying away the humid air around the towel, enhancing evaporation. Convection plays a role as the warm, damp air rises and is replaced by cooler, drier air.
