How does sweat cool us down?

548 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.

Lick the back of your hand, now gently blow on it. That’s how sweat cools you down, evaporation.
