What is the fastest decrease in temperature in seconds or minutes in ne area of the world.?

Spearfish, South Dakota, January 22, 1943. At 7:30 A.M., the temperature ROSE 49 degrees F in just two minutes.\nSorry, I don't know the fastest decrease.

Got to be honest. I became more and more confused about a topic that I used to understand so well with that first response. Although a lot of that is facts, it is overcomplicated at some parts and tough to get a hold on what is actually being described. No disrespect to rizzo though, I realise that everything he wrote is correct so he knows what he's talking about, I just think it would be hard for anyone else to.\n\nMaybe this description will be slightly less dizzying:\n\nAll heat is from the sun. Most of what comes from the sun is short-wave radiation, from 400nm down. Air is not heated very much from the sun, but the ground is. This is because the ground can absorb the short-wave incoming radiation, air cannot (well, only a little bit). The air is mostly heated by the longer-wave radiation that comes from the ground when it gets heated up, which heats the water molecules in the air (that's why humid regions get hotter than dry regions). \n\n*Note: Extremely dry air can be heated too, but that requires continuous exposer to sunlight. As soon as the sun is gone, it gets cold fast. Also it gets colder faster with altitude in dry regions.*\n\nAnyways. Up high, on top of being farther away from the ground, there is also less water molecules to absorb heat (and less molecules total to be heated up at all. So it absorbs less radiation. That is why it is colder. Simple. \n\nNo "adiabatic" mumbo jumbo. But adiabatic cooling is also simple. When air rises, the pressure on it decreases and it expands. The heat will be spread out over more volume, so the air will cool. This is the more complicated reason why the farther away from the ground you get, the colder the air is.\n\nAlso, there is something called an inversion. In this case, the air actually gets hotter as you go up. This happens when a warm air mass is forced up over a denser cold air mass because it is lighter. When this happens, the air is stable (it won't rise). This can result in people getting to choke on their own pollution for a couple of days because the crap they spew up in the air won't rise anymore. It's poetic.

cold and gettin' colder. in the last 15 min. the temp went from 30 to 32 degrees. out here we call that a heat wave.

The coldest place on Earth is Antarctica.\n\nThe lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was -129F, recorded in 1983 at the Russian Base Vostok in Antarctica.

If you have a freezer that will lower the temp. of carbon dioxide to its freezing point you're straight in. Somewhere in the neighborhood of -125 Fahrenheit

32° F is equal to 0° C\n°F = °C × 1.8 + 32\n°C = (°F – 32) / 1.8\n\nThe Celsius scale is the world's most commonly used temperature scale. It has been adopted by virtually all the countries of the world, with the notable exceptions of the United States of America and Jamaica. In broadcast media it was still frequently referred to as centigrade until the late 1980s or early 1990s, particularly by weather forecasters on European networks such as the BBC, ITV, and RTÉ. In the United States and Jamaica, Fahrenheit remains the preferred scale for everyday temperature measurement, although Celsius or kelvin is used for aeronautical and scientific applications.

A typical cloud drop, remember only 2 one-thousandths of a millimeter, requires an updraft of 0.02 miles per hour, or 1.  1.8 feet per minute to stay aloft. On the other hand if there is no updraft the typical cloud drop will fall at .02 miles per hour, this is called the terminal velocity (sometimes referred to as the "fall speed").\n\n\n2.The South Pole has about six months of darkness and six months of light. Technically, the Sun sets on one equinox (March 21) and rises on the next (September 21). That amounts to 184 "dark" days. Sunrise and sunset occur when the apparent upper limb (edge) of the Sun is on the horizon. \n3. the speed of light = 186 282.397 miles per second\n4. The Nile is the longest river in the world, stretching north for approximately\n4000 miles from East Africa to the Mediterranean\n\n5. Baikal has the largest surface area of any freshwater lake in Asia (31,494 km²/12,165 miles²) and is the deepest lake in the world (1637m/5369 ft—previously measured to 1620m/5314 ft). Therefore, in Russian tradition Baikal is called the "sea", and in the Buryat and Mongol languages it is called Dalai-Nor, or "Sacred Sea".\n\nHow hot is the sun?\nThe surface of the sun is about 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,770 degrees Kelvin). That may seem mighty hot, but it is even hotter deeper inside the sun. \n\nWhat is the temperature of the sun's core?\nThe sun's core is extremely hot — about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Kelvin). That is because of the tremendous pressure of the weight of the sun pressing down on the core — equal to 333,000 Earths. In pounds, that is 9 followed by 29 zeros!\n\n"Surface Area: Land area, about 148,300,000 sq km, or about 30% of total surface area; water area, about 361,800,000 sq km, or about 70% of total surface area."\n\n\ndigested and pass through the intestine in about 4 hours. Whereas protein\nfood (meat, beans, nuts, etc.) takes about 7 hours. \n\n\n It is thought that the Sun is about 5 billion years old, and is about halfway through its main sequence evolution, during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium. In about 5 billion years time the Sun will evolve into a red giant and then a white dwarf.[2]\n\n\n\nFacts about the Oceans\nArea: about 140 million square miles (362 million sq km), ore nearly 71% of the Earth's surface.\n\nAverage Depth: 12,200 feet (3,720 m).\n\nDeepest point: 36,198 feet (11,033 m) in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific.\n\nThe eyes can perceive more than 1 million simultaneous visual impressions, are able to discriminate among nearly 8 million gradations of color, can distinguish about 500 different shades of gray, and take in more information than the world’s largest telescope.  Each time the eye blinks, over 200 muscles move and you blink 25 times a minute or over 6 million times each year.

Taking the question in a simple way, if the liq. N2 was at the midway temp. of  -150 deg. Cent., (liq. N2 ranges from -100 to -200 deg. cent.), the banana could roughly take 30-40 min., with all the ice-wool formation in the air, then melting of the snow, then catching up with the room temp. This is from experience. To have a scientific estimation though, you need to consider N2 temp., room temp, mass of the object, shape of the object, other factors like air currents if any, and  also any radiation present.

I feel like a real jerk for giving you this answer, but if you have a mercury thermometer you can rub it on your jeans very fast to create friction which causes heat and when the mercury reaches about 102 degrees, then stop.  There's your *instant* fever.  If you have a digital thermometer, run it under warm water until it's at 102 degrees.  Peace.  \n\nPS  I hope God forgives me for telling you how to deceive.  To all the people who think I'm a hypocrite, your right this time.
