Why are cotton clothes more comfortable to wear than nylon clothes in summer?

Open in App

Solution

Cotton clothes can allow air to pass through them, unlike nylon clothes. Also, cotton clothes can absorb sweat, which nylon clothes cannot. The air passing through the cotton clothes then evaporates the absorbed sweat and cools down the wearer. This makes cotton clothes more comfortable than nylon clothes.
