Is sweat partly condensation?

387 views

Someone tells me that on humid days, sweat that makes skin feel sticky or damp is mostly just condensation and not actually sweat. But that sounds like BS, because body temperature is almost always going to be hotter than ambient temperature, so condensation can’t form.

Correct, we are almost always hotter than the surrounding air and we are actively trying to force water to evaporate.
