Evaporation is the process of water rising up due to the energy that is given off by the sun. The sun's energy causes water to turn from a liquid to a gas, or vapor , and rise from organisms into the atmosphere. Water from puddles, rivers, and oceans rises as water vapor and is lifted into the atmosphere by warm air currents. Transpiration is like evaporation, but it occurs in living things like plants and animals. Large quantities of water are given off by the pores of plants and animals.
Animals drink water and plants take water up through their roots.
This water becomes vapor as it exits the body and goes into the atmosphere. When you can see your breath on a cold day, what you are seeing is water vapor being given off from your body.
