Question

Why does our skin shiver during winter?


Open in App
Solution

Our skin shivers during winter:

  1. During shivering, muscles contract and relax, producing a large amount of heat.
  2. This heat produced keeps our body warm. Hence we shiver during winter.
  3. It's the automatic response to tighten and relax the muscles rapidly to warm up.
