How does sweat cool you?
A
evaporation
B
condensation
C
invagination
D
oder
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -That’s because cooling your body via sweating relies on a principle of physics called “heat of vaporization.” It takes energy to evaporate sweat off of your skin, and that energy is heat. As your excess body heat is used to convert beads of sweat into vapor, you start to cool down.

Detailed explanation-2: -Summary. Sweat keeps the body cool as it evaporates from the skin. Heat stroke occurs when sweat can’t evaporate fast enough to cool the body. Hyperhidrosis is excessive sweating.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you sweat, it evaporates to air without boiling. Sweat on your skin collects heat, called latent heat, from your body, and changes from liquid to gaseous state.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evaporation of sweat from the skin surface has a cooling effect due to the latent heat of evaporation of water. It absorbs the excess heat from our body and evaporates, thus we feel cool.
