Solution

Reasons:1 Mark each
Woollen clothes: 1 Mark

Dark coloured clothes absorb more heat so we feel comfortable in dark coloured clothes in winter.

We wear light coloured clothes in summer because they reflect most of the heat that falls on them.

Woollen clothes keep us warm during winters because they are poor conductors of heat. They trap our body heat, thus keeping us warm.
