Water feels colder sitting down in bath than standing up

236 viewsBiologyOther

This is a personal question but I have noticed that whenever I take a bath with cold water and in a sitting position the water feels way colder than when I am standing up and taking a shower. Is there any scientific explanation for this? It’s possible that maybe I am using colder water and I don’t notice it.

Really small things lose heat very quickly. Because a shower is made up of hundreds of thousands of tiny water droplets, being further away from the spout means the water drops have more time to lose heat before they reach you.
