why does 60 degree water feel freezing compared to 60 degree air?
In: Chemistry
Same reason a wooden spoon feels warmer than a metal spoon at the same temperature. Your body doesn’t sense temperature it senses heat transfer. In this case water conducts heat out of your body much faster than air can especially because it’s much denser than the air around you.
You can touch a really hot object and be fine so long as it is a poor conductor or of heat
