Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which is characterized by bubbles of saturated vapor forming in the liquid phase.

Two things, depth and surface area. A puddle is generally shallow and large, meaning there is more area for the sun to heat, which more water can evaporate at a faster rate. A glass of water is small and deep, so the process is slower. Now if you took the same volume of water that was in the glass and poured it onto the floor, the water would evaporate faster.
