Why does your skin feel drier in winter????​

Chemistry

Answer:

There are numerous reasons for having seasonal dry skin. The number one reason though is, Cold air holds less water. When water evaporates, it is drawn into the air, which "holds" it. 

Air can "hold" varying amounts of water. The warmer and drier the air, the more water it can hold. If the air has as much water it can hold, it is "saturated." If saturated air becomes cooler, the air loses some of its water-holding capacity and it has to lose some water, either as fog or rain or frost or possibly snow.

In the winter, the air can’t hold much water, so the air stays pretty dry. That is okay when you are outside, because even though the air is dry, it can’t draw much water from your skin, since its capacity is low anyway. (But if it is windy, you can still get pretty dry.)

The big problem is when you go inside, where the cold dry air is warmed up by the building’s heating system. Then the warm dry air has a huge capacity for water, and it sucks the water out of your skin like a leech.

Hope it helps dear.Please let me know

Answer:

“It's that loss of moisture from upper layers of the skin that causes it to dry out.” Winter air is often dry, and the air that comes out of indoor furnaces can be even worse. However, dry skin can make its mark at other times of the year, too.

Answer:

Percent error = 41%

Explanation:

Percent error:

Percent error is the difference between the measured value and actual value divided by actual value multiply by 100.

Given data:

Actual length of rope = 3.15 m

Measured length of rope = 1.85 m

Percent error = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Percent error = [measured value - actual value / actual value ] × 100

Now we will put the values in formula.

Percent error = [1.85 - 3.15 / 3.15 ] × 100

Percent error = [-1.3 /3.15 ] × 100

Percent error = -0.41 × 100

Percent error = 41%

The negative sign shows that measured value is less than the actual value but often results are reported in absolute value.
