On a hot and humid day, sweat dries slowly. What is the main geographical reason?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: High relative humidity slows evaporation.

Direct answer: A is correct. Sweat cools the body mainly when liquid sweat evaporates and removes heat from the skin. On a humid day, the surrounding air already contains a large amount of water vapour and has a high relative humidity. It is therefore closer to saturation and has less capacity to accept additional vapour from sweat. Evaporation becomes slower, so sweat remains on the skin and the body feels sticky and uncomfortable. B is wrong because heat does not turn sweat into stone; warmth generally supplies energy for evaporation. C is wrong because humid air contains substantial water vapour. D is wrong because solar energy does not inherently stop evaporation; available energy can support it, although other conditions affect the rate. Memory cue: humid air is already “full,” so sweat has difficulty escaping into it.
