Evaporation When liquids change state to vapor they absorb heat, it's called "heat of vaporization". Put water on your arm then blow on it; it should feel colder when air is moving across the water. The evaporating water absorbs heat as it changes state, making the surface colder.
So... when you sweat, the surface of your skin gets colder and your body disspate heat by opening your circulation closer to the surface of the skin.

Why does your palm feel cold when some eather is put on it?
When a chemical substance like ether is applied to your skin, it evaporates quickly, which absorbs heat from your skin in the process. This rapid evaporation causes the skin to feel cold as it loses heat to the surrounding environment.
How does body release heat during periods of high humidity?
The body loses it's heat by secreting sweat out through the pores of the skin, as the air or wind passes over the sweat the sweat and the skin is cooled. Some of the heat is then lost through this process. The blood that then runs close to the skin also becomes cooled just like the blood in the ears of an elephant.
What form of moisture does the body produce to cool itself?
The body produces perspiration to cool itself.
When heat loses its heat does it become less dense and sink?

What damage is done to the skin from tuberculoid leprosy?

When matter loses heat what is its temperature?
When matter loses heat, its temperature decreases. Heat is a form of energy, and as it is transferred from an object, the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object decreases, leading to a lower temperature.
