As the water evaporates it takes energy in. If it is a hot day then the energy comes from the heat on your skin cooling you down. Sweating isn't the best way to cool down naturally thought.

When you have a fever why dont you sweat?

The purpose of a fever is to raise your body temperature to make your interior environment inhospitable to pathogens that are designed to thrive in your normal body temperature. Sweating is the body's cooling mechanism. Therefore, when you have a fever, your body purposely inhibits sweating to maintain that heat.


What happens when you sweat in space?

When astronauts sweat in space, the lack of gravity prevents the sweat from dripping off their skin. Instead, sweat accumulates as a liquid layer on the skin or evaporates into the air, which can lead to increased humidity inside the spacesuit. The body's cooling mechanism through sweat evaporation may be less effective in space due to the lack of gravity.

What purposes does the production of sweat on the skin serve?

How does sweating regulate body temperature?

When we get heated we sweat. The sweat will then evaporate off the skin and has a cooling effect on our body. If one is going to be in a situation with high temperatures, sweating because of vigorous activity, or if one has a fever; it is wise to drink plenty of fluids. Fluids keep the body from dehydrating and overheating. That is why professional athletes drink plenty of Gatorade.

we can iyuThe skin containssweat glands- (also called sudoriferous glands) tube-shaped glands that produces perspiration (sweat). The sweat actually become a cooling mechanism at the surface of the skin. First your body temperature rises triggering the release of salt water aka sweat. As the sweat evaporates the surface of the skin and surrounding tissues cool. An example when you get out of the shower and you have no towel to wipe off your skin you begin to feel cold.


What are other examples of evaporation to cool things down?

Other examples of evaporation to cool things down include sweating in humans, the use of evaporative coolers in buildings, and the cooling effect of a wet towel placed on the skin on a hot day. Evaporation removes heat from a surface as the liquid evaporates into the air, leading to a cooling effect.
