why at the same temperature water feels colder than air: the last could be Srizzo's answer

Why do we feel water colder than air at the same temperature? For example, you can take off your shirt when it is 10 C but you can't swim in water with the same Temperature, you can't stand it, why?-----------------------------------------------------Specific heat measures how much energy it takes to raise the temperature by one degree - it takes a lot more of your 98.6 to warm up water than air.----------------------------------------------------------Because water is such a good conductor of energy, it sucks the heat out of your body into the water.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------the denser molecules are able to draw more heat from your body that's why motors are water cooled instead of air cooled these days--------------------------------------------------------------- Water will draw the heat from your body much faster than air, hence it feels colder, just as metal will feel even colder than water at the same temperature. It is more that density, it is conductivity. Ceramic is denser than water but water would feel colder.----------------------------------------------------Srizzo: be-------------------------------------------------------------------cause thatbecause thats the way it goess the way it goes
