Question

Do we sweat more on dry day or humid day ?? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

• On a dry day, the sweat is evaporated due to dry weather and our body feels cool.
• On a hot summer and humid day, the temperature of the body increases. Therefore, in order to cool the skin, the body starts sweating.
• It absorbs the latent heat of the body and gets evaporated into the atmosphere.
• But on a humid day, the sweat does not evaporate because of the presence of moisture in air.​
• Therefore our body remains hot and we sweat even more.
• Hence, sweating is more on a humid day than a dry day.
