Question

discuss why wearing of more layers of clothes during winter keeps is warmer than wearing just 16 piece of clothing

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,

We wear more layers of clothing during winter to keeps us warmer than wearing just one thick piece of clothing , because air gets trapped in between the two layers of blankets.

This air prevents the flow of heat from our body to the cold surroundings as air is a bad conductor of heat.
Since air prevents heat loss from our body. Hence, layers of clothing keep us warmer than just one thick piece of clothing.

Hope you understood

Enjoy learning!!
Regards
