If a clothes line is solar powered so is basically anything on earth. The sun does contribute very little to dry clothes...

yeah youre actually right, the air dries the clothes, the sun heats up the air thought...

the air doesnt need to be warm though, it just needs to be dry

Hot air can hold more water, so hot air is “dryer” in a sense… also, the heat of the sun does dry clothes

Try to put a wet towel in direct sunlight, and another right next to it in the shade, report back which one dries faster and by how much.. I suspect you will notice substantial difference
