Question
Woollen clothes are warm in winter. Why?
✓

Answer

Woollen fibres enclose a large amount of air in them. Both wool and air are bad conductors of heat. The small coefficient of thermal conductivity prevents the loss of heat from our body due to conduction. So, we feel warm in woollen clothes.
