: How do humans feel temperature differences and how precisely can we feel it?
In: Biology
Relatively. Your body does not measure specific temperatures. I am not sure if this is what you are going for or not but here it is. This is why when you walk into an air conditioned building on a very hot day, you feel very cold. Relative to the outside heat, this room is very cold. Your body eventually will acclimate to the temperature and you will no longer think the room is that cold. This is why I have to keep slowly increasing the water temp in my shower as I stand in there longer and longer.
