प्रश्न

Why do we feel much comfortable when we sit under a moving fan especially when our body is sweating?

टिप्पणी लिखिए

उत्तर

The reason is that sweat from our body evaporates faster under a moving fan due to rapid movement of air and so a cooling sensation is caused which makes us more comfortable.
