Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature. The body temperature is 37 celcius, but still if that's the surrounding's temp., it is very hot. Why so? Shouldn't 37 celcius be the perfect temp?
To be pedantic, I wouldn't call it "harder," but rather say that it takes longer to cool: the rate of heat flow to the surroundings depends on the difference in temperature.analogdesign said:it is harder to cool a system with a small temperature gradient

37 Celcius feels hot because it is close to the average body temperature of 37 degrees Celcius. This means that our bodies have to work harder to regulate our internal temperature, leading to a feeling of discomfort or heat.
Yes, 37 Celcius is considered a high temperature for most people. It is above the average body temperature and can cause discomfort or heat-related illnesses if exposed to for too long.
Yes, humidity can greatly affect how hot 37 Celcius feels. When the air is humid, it is harder for our bodies to cool down through sweating, making 37 Celcius feel even hotter.
Our bodies have thermoreceptors that detect changes in temperature. When the temperature is close to or above our internal body temperature, these receptors send signals to our brain, making us feel hot and uncomfortable.
Yes, different individuals can have different perceptions of 37 Celcius as hot. Factors such as age, health, and physical activity can affect how our bodies perceive and respond to temperature changes.
