MP Board · Class 9 · Science · Matter in Our SurroundingsWhy should we wear cotton clothes in summer?
Step-by-Step Solution
During summer, our body sweats more to maintain temperature balance. Cotton is a good absorber of water, so it absorbs sweat from our body and exposes it to the atmosphere for easy evaporation. The heat energy equal to the latent heat of vaporization is absorbed from our body during evaporation, keeping us cool and comfortable.
