How does high heat of vaporization affect living organisms?

The heat of vaporization refers to the amount of energy necessary to add to a substance in order to convert the substance from liquid to gas. Water has a high heat of vaporization measuring 40.65 kJ/mol. This means that a lot of energy must be put into it before it evaporates. As a result, humans are able to maintain their body temperature since the human body is mostly made up of water. Moreover, it keeps the Earth's climate at a steady temperature as well. Thus, living organisms are able to live in an environment that does not rapidly change in temperature as a result of changes in their immediate surroundings.
