What type of clothes should we wear in summer?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We should wear cotton clothes in hot summer days to keep us cool and comfortable. This is due to the following reason : During hot summer days, we perspire more (give out more sweat through the pores of the skin). Sweat (pasina) is mainly water. The cotton clothes are good absorber of sweat. So, cotton clothes absorb the sweat produced on our skin quickly and expose it to the atmosphere for evaporation. The evaporation of sweat from cotton clothes takes the latent heat of vaporisation from our skin. In this way, our skin loses heat and makes us feel cool and comfortable.
