Liquid Nitrogen facts:

For reference, space is about -455 degrees Fahrenheit . When sunlight hits the moon’s surface, the temperature can reach 260 degrees Fahrenheit and in the dark or night -280 degrees Fahrenheit .

  3. Rubber hose
  4. exploding can and pringles
  5. frozen banana
  6. balloons
  7. lindenfrost effect
