Better contact and less electrical resistance.

Can you explain how solder between two copper wires provides a lower
resistance connection than direct contact between the wires?


More surface contact? Electrons tend to flow on the surface of a wire
more so than in the center for some reason or another.

Hmmm,
Skin effect is dominant on RF range. 60Hz is not RF. Is it?
We use pipe instead of solid wire on RF application.
