Question
How does perspiration or sweating help keep our body cool on a hot day?
✓

Answer

On a hot day, when our body temperature tends to rise too much, our sweat glands give out moisture (sweat) on our skin. When this sweat evaporates, it takes the latent heat of vaporization from our body hence making our body cool.
