Answer 1

Inside needs a constant temp of 98. Outside has ways of cooling off (sweat) or heating up (shivering) our outside doesn’t need a constant tempature but the inside does. Ofcourse we have our outside ways of cooling off and heating up. (Clothes, swimming etc…) why you go from hot to cold when you have a cold. Your body is trying regulate its tempature. Your body also raises its internal temp to fight off diseases.
