Why is it more comfortable to hold a cup of hot tea by the handle rather than by wrapping your hands around the cup itself?

Answer:

Because the tea emits heat through the glass so by holding the handle it doesn't heat your hand up quickly so you can drink it.

Step-by-step explanation:

heat transfers through the glass into your hand which is really hot, but it doesn't go through the handle.
