There is nothing which 'makes' air cold as such - heat spreads itself around the space available, moving to the colder parts until the air is all the same temperature. Heat energy always balances itself out. Air gives up heat when in contact with something colder. This could likely be very cold land or sea ice areas at the poles, or cold areas of the oceans. Air also gets colder with increasing altitude, because it loses heat out to space by radiation, whereas near the ground in warm areas of the earth it picks up heat from the ground. In general thermodynamic laws say that a body will only lose heat to a colder body. Remember "heat won't flow from the cooler to the hotter".

Why does the air feel cooler when the fan is switched on?
Your body generates enough heat that you stay warm and the air immediately around you is warmed slightly. When a fan blows, it moves the air that surrounds your body, replacing it with cooler air, making you feel colder.
