RE: What Happens To An Astronauts Body Temperature During A Long Space Flight?
Great post. Now that space fever is an actual thing I'm going to start using the term daily. One question though, why is the evaporation of sweat harder in zero gravity?
Perhaps evaporation isn't the right term to use, maybe dissipation? In zero gravity both heat and moisture stay in place, where as here things would dissipate away in the air. Zero gravity makes it more difficult for the heat to get away from the astronauts body.
Ah, makes more sense now. Thanks for the explanation.
