Marcie played with her friends out in the cold, cloudy weather, wearing her wool hat. After the group had finished building snowmen and having snowball fights, Marcie went back inside to warm up and drink some hot chocolate. When she took her hat off, she realized that it was very warm. What happened?

Conduction between Marcie�s warm body and the hat occurred and the hat remained warm because it is an insulator.

The radiant energy from the sun warmed up her hat and the hat kept that heat from the sun.

�� Her hat was warm because wool fabric is warmer than other fabrics.

The humidity outside made her hat warm.
