We feel that some objects are cold, and some are hot. Is this feeling related in some way to our body temperature ? Give reasons. Also explain this with reference to the zeroth law of thermodynamics.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, If the temperature of the objects is lower than our body temperature, e.g., ice, we feel the object is higher than our body temperature, e.g., hot water, we feel the object is hot.
