YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIt’s time for some more knowledge you didn’t think you needed to know. Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Chuck Nice team up for another StarTalk explainer about the science behind wind chill and more.
What is wind chill factor? Find out how the temperature of the air interacts with your skin. We explore why a breeze can help rapidly alter your temperature when you’re interacting with the elements. You’ll learn why your skin will cool faster in a mix of air and water. Discover how to create a “liquid” chill factor.
Is there still wind chill factor when it’s hot? You’ll explore why the answer is yes and why you know it better as a “cool breeze.” Neil explains why you feel cooler in the shade even if the air temperature is the same. What happens if the air temperature goes above your skin temperature? You’ll get the answer to that, plus, discover what happens when you go from a wind chill factor to a wind heat factor.
