Question

Why do we wear woolen clothes in winter?


Open in App
Solution

  1. Woolen clothing have fine pores that are filled with air.
  2. Both wool and air are bad heat conductors.
  3. As a result, we wear woolen clothes in the winter because they do not allow heat transfer from the body to the environment, keeping the body warm.

Hence, woolen clothes trap the body heat inside and do not allow heat transfer to the surrounding.
