If the movement of particles is what makes something feel hot, why does blowing air around make it feel cool?

Convection

if atoms are mostly empty space, why can’t I walk through walls

Imagine believing this electron centric idea of matter, but not seeing op's argument.

Because you don't understand the difference between macroscopic and microscopic effects.

This doesn't explain anything, nor does it make you sound smart like you hoped it would

Sweat. Evaporative cooling. Liquid to gas absorbs energy.

air moves the heat you irradiate away from you, then your hot surroundings are no more then cold starts transferring itself into your hot core making it cloder
did I get it right, nerd 'Os?

it also works when the air temp is higher than you

If we live on a ball Earth floating in space around the Sun in perfect synchrony with the Moon since hundreds of thousands of years ago, while compounding axis rotation, orbit speed, galaxy speed and so on, why does this system not behave chaotically like the three-body problem shows?

It moves the particles away

Heat is the kinetic energy of the atoms.
You feel the speed that ur skin is moving around, air blowing on your skin doesn't do anything. If boiling water touches your skin, the atoms in your skin start freaking out and moving around a lot which causes heat receptors to "open up" in your body which causes a pain sensation and sometimes an automatic heat reaction that goes straight to the spinal chord and not the brain so you actually move without using your own "free will" (which isn't real anyways). If you touch something hot enough with your hands your arm will actually retract on its own without consulting your brain (free will) fun fact. Also capsaicin the stuff in peppers opens up these heat receptors artificially which makes it feel hot even though its not hot lol.

Premise is wrong and retard. Temperature is not the movement of particles. It's the "active" (kinetic) energy of the particles. Air moving around a little doesn't have high energy, if you boil water it has high energy and it will make the particles in your body also move around a lot if it touches you. Air doesn't do that lol.

>the Sun in perfect synchrony with the Moon
What does this mean to you?

>why does this system not behave chaotically like the three-body problem shows
Because the 3 body problem is about 3 objects of comparable mass orbiting a shared centre of gravity.
All the planets combined aren't even 1% of the mass of the Sun, and the Moon is about 25% the mass of the Earth. So the Moon has negligible gravitational effects on the Earth and is caught in its orbit, and the two of them are so small relative to the Sun that they effectively orbit as one unit, which similarly has a negligible effect on the Sun and is caught in orbit around it.
