Solution

We sweat more in the summer season. This happens because our body tries to maintain its temperature by releasing sweat which on evaporation cools the body. Thus, the evaporation of sweat is important for cooling our bodies, especially during the summer season.

Cotton clothes have a high moisture-absorbing capacity compared to synthetic clothes. Therefore, cotton clothes absorb the sweat from our bodies better than synthetic clothes and expose it to the atmosphere for easy evaporation. For this reason, cotton clothes are more suitable to wear than synthetic clothes during the summer season
