What are low temperatures?

Low temperatures are when it gets really cold, like when you put your hand near ice cream on a hot day.

Imagine you have a glass of water. When it's warm, the water moves around quickly, kind of like how you bounce around when you're excited. But when you put that glass in the fridge, the water slows down and starts to freeze. That’s what happens with low temperatures: things slow down and sometimes even change shape, like ice.

Think about your freezer at home, that's where low temperatures live. The air inside is super chill, and anything you put in there gets colder too. It's like giving something a big, icy hug!

When the temperature drops, the heat leaves things behind, just like how you feel chilly when you step out of a warm bath.

We use numbers to tell how cold or warm something is. The number goes up as it gets warmer and down as it gets colder. Scientists call this measurement temperature, and they have special tools called thermometers that show the numbers so we can know if it's time for hot chocolate or ice cream!
