प्रश्न
Discuss why wearing more layers of clothing during winters keeps us warmer than wearing just one thick piece of clothing.
संक्षेप में उत्तर
उत्तर १
- During winter, we prefer wearing more layers of clothing than just one thick piece because air gets trapped between the various 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.

उत्तर २
- More layers of clothing keep us warm in winter as they have a lot of space between them.
- This space gets filled up with air. Air is a bad conductor, it does not allow the body heat to escape out.
