100℃ or-100℃, which is more terrible? Extreme cold or extreme heat, which is easier for human beings to adapt to?

Let's talk about several essential elements of human existence, such as water, sunshine and air. If it is above zero 100 degree or below zero 100 degree, what will happen to human beings? That's terrible! If you really insist on comparison, MINUS 100 degrees is a bit scary. People are warm-blooded animals and are extremely sensitive to temperature. The so-called warm-blooded animal means that its body temperature is constant and will not change with the change of environmental temperature. On the contrary, the body temperature of thermophilic animals will change with the change of temperature.

The scorching sun is unbearable.

Generally speaking, mammals and birds are warm-blooded animals, while fish, amphibians and reptiles are warm-blooded animals, such as frogs, lizards, turtles, crocodiles and snakes.

If MINUS 100 degree really happens, the water on the earth will be frozen, there will be no flowing water on the earth, and the environment on the earth will be similar to that on Mars (the surface temperature of Mars is about MINUS 63 degrees). There will be no stable liquid water on the earth, and they will be frozen. In winter, most plants and animals will be dormant. Because animals and plants don't grow, there will be no "food" growing on the earth. Even if the living environment of human beings in a low temperature environment is solved, they will eventually starve to death because of the rupture of the food chain.

In fact, the temperature difference between the eastern hemisphere and the western hemisphere can reach 200 degrees without going out of orbit. As long as the earth's atmosphere becomes thin enough, we can refer to the situation of the moon. The moon is almost vacuum and the temperature difference between day and night can reach 300 degrees.

But in any case, whether it is MINUS 100 degrees or MINUS 100 degrees, it is fatal enough for human beings. Generally speaking, when the temperature exceeds 45 degrees, human beings will not be able to survive in this environment for a long time, and protein in the human body will undergo irreversible degeneration, which will eventually lead to brain death.

However, in an extremely dry environment, the human body can withstand the temperature of 100 degrees in a short time, which is estimated to be half an hour. If the environment is changed to liquid, such as water, the human body can't bear it. However, there are some extreme microorganisms on the earth that can withstand extreme high temperatures. For example, water bear worms can survive at the high temperature of 150 by dormancy.
