Dont know if I asked the question right but here goes…. There are times where the temperature is 75F and it’s cloudy and feels cool. There are other times where it’s 75F and sunny and I’m sweating outside. Obviously the sun right? But the temperature is the same? Does the sun not affect the temperature all the time. Also I’ve been in 50 degrees in a humid climate and it feels a lot colder than 30 in a dry climate. I always thought temperature was hot or cold but I feel like sometimes there’s more to it than that. Also I’m well aware of humidity and heat and also wind chill. I’m not referring to those things

One way to think of temperature is that if two objects have the same temperature and they are in contact with each other, neither temperatures will change. In contrast, if an object with a higher temperature is in contact with something with lower temperature, the high temperature object gets cooler and the low temperature object gets hotter. The rest boils down to what number you assign to what level of hotness.
