Question

Why do people wear white clothes in summer and dark clothes in winter?


Open in App
Solution

  1. We wear light or white coloured clothes in summer because light colours reflect sunlight as well as heat so our body is free from heating up.
  2. In winter we wear dark coloured clothes because dark colours absorb sunlight as well as heat so our body remains in warm-up condition.
  3. So, white colour acts as a good reflector of heat and black colour acts as a good absorber of heat.
  4. That is the reason why people wear white clothes in summer and dark clothes in winter
