What is an endothermic reaction and why does it feel cold?
Plot twist: not everything that feels cold is actually losing heat to the air around it. Some things feel cold because they're greedy — they're stealing warmth right off your skin. That's the strange little magic of an endothermic reaction, and it starts with a single, hungry idea.
First, the word. "Endo" means "into," and "thermic" means "heat." So an endothermic reaction is a chemical change that pulls heat INTO itself. Think of it as a tiny sponge for warmth.
