To Explain: The reason for a hot humid day to be more uncomfortable than the normal dry day.
Answer to Problem 23Q
A water molecule in the hot dry day easily evaporates in a comparison to the hot humid day.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Sweating or perspiration is the major mechanism in this process.
In the hot humid day, evaporation is less due to sweating from the human body. Because in the humid day the water vapors are already saturated in the atmosphere. Since sweating the major cooling phenomenon. When the sweating is inadequate, humans will feel more uncomfortable. On the other account on a hot dry day, the molecules of water easily evaporate into the air, and because of this evaporation, the body becomes cool easily.
Conclusion:
A water molecule in the hot dry day easily evaporates in a comparison to the hot humid day.
