why does your tongue get stuck to iron/steel in freezing weather, but not other body part?
In: Physics
ELI5: Tongue = wet…. Other body parts in winter: Usually dry. The water will freeze instantly when it touches an extremely cold piece of metal. However, the same is true if your fingers were wet.
Try it sometime, get your hand wet and grab a piece of ice. The ice has to be relatively dry though (as in not melted yet, I’m not talking about “Dry Ice” as in solid CO2)
