Eli5: why does warm 67 degrees feel different than cool 67 degrees

I’m in my car and I set the AC to 67 it feels different than if I set my heat to 67. Shouldn’t 67 degrees be 67 degrees

Answer 1

Neither blow 67 degrees air. Heater blows hot air (say 100+ degrees) until the overall ambient air reaches at least 67. AC blows cold (40 degree) air until the overall mixture of ambient air drops to at least 67.
