When you sweat your excess body heat is carried, via the water in your sweat, to the surface of your skin. There it is allowed to evaporate off of your body and it carries away excess heat with it.
This is also why you feel colder when you are wet on a windy day, that water is still absorbing some of your body heat through your skin and evaporating it away.Explain how sweating helps to control body temperature?
sweat cools off your skin when it evaporates on a hot day. Your core temperature never gets dangerously hot unless you're dehydrated and don't sweat. But that creates a whole lot of new problems ;)
