Deserts are a place of extreme temperatures. Since most (not all) deserts are away from large masses of water (oceans), there is no mechanism for temperature regulation. They can get extremely cold very quickly.
By definition, a desert is a region that receives less than 10 inches of rain per year. It does not matter the temperature of the region as long as it does not exceed the 10 inches. So, yes a desert can be cold.
The coldest temperature measured in a desert was about -129 degrees F in Antarctica and the warmest temperature ever reliably measured was +134 degrees in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert.

The Antarctic Desert has measured a temperature of about -129 degrees F and that is the coldest temperature ever recorded in a cold desert.
Each desert has its own statistics when it comes to climate. However, the coldest temperature ever recorded in a desert was -128.8 degrees F. in Antarctica,
There are two major classes of deserts:Hot Deserts such as the Sahara, the Arabian Desert and the Mojave Desert.Cold Deserts such as Antarctica, the Gobi Desert and the Patagonian Desert.
There are no cold deserts in Australia. All of the deserts in Australia are hot subtropical deserts.
There are two categories of deserts: hot desertsand cold desertsExamplesHot sub tropical deserts - Sahara, Arabian Desert, Thar Desert, Mojave DesertCold winter deserts - Antarctic Desert, Gobi Desert, Great Basin Desert Under the cold desert heading we also include cool coastal deserts including the Atacama, Namib and Sechura.
Polar Deserts - Antarctica Cold Winter Deserts - Gobi, Great Basin, Patagonian Cool Coastal Deserts - Atacama, Namib
the lowest temperature it goes is 3 degrees and the highest it has ever been is 12 degrees.

There are two major classes of deserts:Hot Deserts such as the Sahara, the Arabian Desert and the Mojave Desert.Cold Deserts such as Antarctica, the Gobi Desert and the Patagonian Desert.
There are hot deserts, such as the Sahara, Mojave and Kalahari and there are cold deserts such as Antarctica, the Gobi and the Patagonian Deserts.
Deserts are classified as either hot or cold deserts. Some cold deserts may get quite hot in the summer but are very cold in the winter.
The two main deserts I assume you are talking about is hot and cold deserts. The difference between them is temperature (warm moderate summers for hot deserts, low rainfall.) Cold deserts may have snowfall and much lower temperatures in the winter. Summers in cold deserts may get quite hot, however.
About 2/3s the deserts are hot. Others are classified as cold deserts, cool coastal deserts or cold winter deserts.
No, there are two major types of desert - hot and cold.
YEs, both hot and cold deserts may have oases.
There are no cold deserts in Australia. All of the deserts in Australia are hot subtropical deserts.
Hot deserts are usually sandy. Cold deserts are usually rocky
Both the Gobi and Taklamakan Deserts are cold deserts.
There are hot, subtropical deserts, polar deserts, cold winter deserts and cool coastal deserts.
