Like, I know that desert dwellers do it to protect their bodies from the sun, but isn’t that also an issue in the tropics?
minus-squarethebestaquaman@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoI’m guessing that the fact that deserts can get very cold at night also has something to do with it. Due to high humidity, the tropics are warm around the clock, while deserts can have huge temperature variations.
