Cold air makes us shiver because our bodies are trying to stay warm. When we feel cold, our muscles start to shake quickly, it’s like a little dance inside our body that helps create heat. This shaking is called shivering, and it keeps us from getting too chilly.
Examples
- You run outside on a chilly morning and start shaking all over, even though you're wearing a coat.
- Your dog shivers when it comes inside from the snow, just like you do.
- When your hands get cold in winter, they begin to shake rapidly.
