How does sweat cool us down?

562 viewsBiologyOther

I always assumed the way sweat cooled us was how the water on the outside of our skin cools off and in turn cools the skin down however I don’t get why the air that cools the sweat cant cool our bodies especially if our skin can heat that sweat just as fast or faster than the air can cool it.

Follow up question. Why does our body lose heat to water touching our skin faster than it loses heat to air touching our skin?
