Question

How woolen clothes have a layer of air between two layers of cloth

Open in App
Solution

During winters wearing more layers of clothing keeps us warmer because there are small pores inside the clothing thus it traps air as air is a bad conductor /insulator of heat it does not let heat escape from the clothing . Thus wearing more layers of clothing keeps us warmer than just wearing a thick piece of clothing , woolen clothes are thick so it traps air in between them..
