What would happen if a person who is wearing a heavy winter jacket were to
place a thermometer inside the jacket next to his or her skin? What would
happen if we took the same jacket, after it had been hanging in a closet, and
placed a thermometer inside?

Answer 1

When the thermometer was placed next to the skin, it should be higher because of the heat your body gives off, and the jacket trapping the heat in, when you put it in the closet it will be cooler due to not having a heat source.
