Solution

In the summer, our body needs more water due to the high temperature in the atmosphere to maintain the temperature inside the body.

So, the kidney absorbs more water from the urine as a result urine gets thicker.

As compared to summer in the winter, the demand for water for our body is low.

So, the kidney does not absorb water from it.

That’s why urine is thicker in summer than in winter.
