The loss of water vapor from the aerial parts of the plant is called as transpiration.
Factors affecting rate of transpiration are:-
->Temperature.
->Humidity.
->Wind speed.
->Light intensity.
When temperature increases, the rate of transpiration will also increase,
When Humidity increases, the rate of transpiration will decrease,
When there is more light, transpiration increases.

Answer:
The factors that affect transpiration are:
- Light. Plants transpire more rapidly in the light than in the dark.
- Temperature. The more the temperature, more is the transpiration as water evaporates more at higher temperature.
- Humidity. When the surrounding air is dry, diffusion of water out of the leaf goes on more rapidly.
- Wind. When there is no breeze, the air surrounding a leaf becomes increasingly humid thus reducing the rate of transpiration.
