Discuss why wearing more layers of clothing during winters keeps us warmer than wearing just one thick piece of clothing.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

During winters, we prefer wearing more layers of clothing than just one thick piece of clothing because air gets trapped in between the various clothing layers. Being a poor conductor of heat, air prevents heat loss from our body. Hence, layers of clothing keep us warmer than a single layer.
