idea what you talking about haha :D

Answer 2

Wellll. The body temperature may be 98.6 Fahrenheit. but the skin temperature is, I'll just guess, about...90? no clue. Anyway, it's a lot lower. That means that 95 degrees is very hot compared to your skin, the sense organ. Voila!

Also, you obviously sweat in these temperatures. It's called homeostasis. And then it's really really uncomfortable, coz you feel sticky too. Anyway, hope that helps :]

Answer 3

Your body is constantly generating heat through movement and chemical processes. It needs to be able to dissipate this heat else its temperature would keep going up and up.

If the temperature of the surrounding air is close to that of your body it is much more difficult to dissipate the heat and you get hotter and uncomfortable.

The reason it is more difficult to disspiate heat, is because the transfer of heat relies on a temperature gradient, i.e. one area of hot transfers it to an area of cold. If there is no gradient (i.e. both temperatures are the same) there will be no heat transfer at all.

Hope it helps!
