After a hot bath, your body temperature rises due to the warm water. When you step out of the bath into cooler air, your body may perceive this change in temperature as a drop, leading you to feel cold. This sensation is called thermal shock and can make you feel colder than you actually are.

Why is it that when you put the left in cold water and the right hand in hot water and take both out and put them normal water why does the left hand feel hot and the right feel cold?

This is due to the phenomenon known as contrast effect. When you first put your hands in cold and hot water, your nerves respond to the extreme temperatures. When you move them to the lukewarm water, the hand that was in the cold water will perceive the water as hot because of the contrast in temperatures.


Why is it that things feel hot but are really cold?

because they are like an curling iron that is turned off. you look at it and your mind is like "this is going to be hot." because of mind over matter, it MUST be hot. but, you touch it and (because its turned off) its cold. so that's how things feel hot but are really cold.


What sense allows you to feel hot and cold?

The sense of temperature, known as thermoreception, allows you to feel hot and cold sensations. Specialized nerve endings in your skin detect changes in temperature and send signals to your brain to interpret these sensations.


When do we feel hot or cold?

We feel hot or cold when our bodies detect a difference between our internal body temperature and the temperature of our surroundings. Our body's thermoreceptors send signals to the brain, which then interprets these signals as feelings of heat or cold. This helps regulate our body temperature to maintain homeostasis.
