Why does the body feel cool when sweat evaporates?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Sweat takes heat from the body and becomes vapour

Correct answer: A. Evaporation is a change from liquid water to water vapour, and this change requires energy called latent heat. When sweat evaporates from the skin, it takes the required energy from the skin and nearby body surface. The loss of heat lowers the skin’s temperature, so the body feels cooler. This cooling is more effective when air is dry or moving because vapour is removed from near the skin and evaporation can continue. B is wrong because evaporation removes heat from the body rather than adding it. C is wrong because making air heavy is not the mechanism of cooling. D is wrong because sweat does not block sunlight; the cooling comes from heat used during evaporation. In very humid air, sweat may evaporate slowly, so the cooling effect is weaker. Memory cue: evaporation takes heat away.
