Frictional electricity is observed more in winter than summer because of the static electricity which happens more in winter than in summer. Static electricity usually results when to materials that are dissimilar are rubbed together.

Is nylon hotter or cooler to wear in comparing to cotton?
Nylon retains heat. Worn during the summer it is hot, even if you are only wearing a short dress or shirt. Cotton is the best to wear at any time. it does not absorb the heat, and allows the body to be cool even during the hottest day. Polyester is the worse. Worn in warm weather it feels as if you are wearing a winter coat.
Why do you get electric shocks off everything metal in your granite kitchen?
There may be a couple of reasons for getting shocked by metal things in your kitchen, granite or not. Let's look at them. One reason that an individual might get an electric shock from metal objects in a kitchen is a wiring fault. Only a competent professional electrician should evaluate this possibility. Further, it should be done soon, and for obvious reasons. A wiring fault (failure to provide an adequate ground or the translocation of a hot and neutral, for instance) could prove injurious -- or worse. Static electricity is always a possibility. On humid days, static electricity cannot build a sufficient charge to make itself known. That does not, however, mean it is not being generated. Any time a person walks across a rug, static charges will move. On a dry day with the right kind of materials in the carpeting, you can get a nasty jolt when reaching for a metal object like a door knob. It might be that the flooring "conspires" with anyone passing over it to build a charge. Perhaps a de-ionizer can help the situation. An electrician should be able to help sort out this possibility as well.

What are the bad things of scientific progress?
Globe warming is the worse
Is pollution getting worse or better?
Every year, new reports come in, and the results are always varying. Some years they say worse, some years not as much - and more importantly, the causes are still being researched, and the ones blamed change often. Overall, it appears that the overall temperatures in the northern hemisphere are falling, but at the same time more energy seems to be absorbed, by such observable phenomena as melting ice caps.
can I buy something to control static in my home?
Static electricity gets worse in a dry environment. Consider using a humidifier to keep the static electricity down.
When is global warming worse in winter or summer?
Summer.
How do you get rid of electricity in your hair?
If you mean static electricity which makes the hair "poof" then squeezing the hair using your hands and blowing on it can help. Don't brush it though that usually makes it worse.
Why some owners of car let a piece of chain hanged and dragged to the surface?
This is to prevent the buildup of static electricity. The chain dragging on the ground releases the static electricity. It's probably a bit of overkill to do this for a car, and the sparking produced as the chain drags over the roadway is likely worse than the static electricity would be. It can be important for heavy equipment like farm or construction machinery, though.
Can a static shock to components in your computer slow it down and make it worse or will it just kill it?
Most often a damaged component will kill the computer but there are certainly some components that, if damaged by static electricity or something else, will slow the computer down. Which components, I could not say...
Why is polio worse in the summer?
Polio doesn't really get worse in the summer, it gets worse for you. It gets worse because usually the time where people have vacations and go to many places. So if you can't walk what are you going to do in summer?

Why did the plague known as black death disappear in winter?
The Black Death disappeared in winter because the whole plague came from infected fleas, and in the winter, fleas are dormant, so the fleas couldn't bite people to spread the disease. However, in the summer, fleas are not dormant, so they continue to spread the Black Death to people. This is ironic because most sicknesses are worse in the winter than in the summer.
What is worse a winter storm warning or winter advisory?

Do ticks still live in the summer?

Are laptop sleeves worth it or should you get something better?
Based on my experience, it will save it from minor scratches, but not from being dropped on the floor. If you find a good one, it won't make it worse, based on my experience. However be careful if it generates static electricity.
