why is hot air suffocating and cold air refreshing?
In: Biology
Actually explained to a 5 year old: hot air is thinner, cold air is thicker. So when you breathe in cold air, you’re getting more air.
More complex: it stems from the general rule that heated up molecules move faster and separate from each other. So warm oxygen atoms are more spread apart, so a breath in pulls in less oxygen.
