Question 48

Why do we prefer to wear white or light coloured clothes in summer and black or dark coloured clothes in winter?

Answer

We prefer to wear white or light coloured clothes in summer because white clothes reflect most of sun's heat and absorb very little of it, thus keep our body cool. But we wear black or dark coloured clothes in winter because they absorb most of the heat of sun and keep us warm.
