Solution
- We should wear cotton clothes in the summer. During summers, we sweat more, and cotton is a good absorber of water.
- Thus, it absorbs sweat from our body and exposes the liquid to the atmosphere, making evaporation faster.
- During this evaporation, particles on the liquid's surface gain energy from our body's surface, cooling the body.
