How hot and cold does a desert get?
Deserts during the day get very hot and very dry. The lack of cloud cover only increases the temperature that hits the desert. About 40 C. Surprisingly enough, the desert gets quite cold during the night because all that warm sand loses its heat during the night due to its low heat capacity property. No heat is really contained in the air due to the lack of moisture in the air, so there is no real way to retain heat. So approximately 5 - 10 C.
Where do flies sleep at night in the desert?
the sand or dune fly.
Why do people wear cloaks in the desert?

What is an example of a cold desert?
A desert is a region where the area experiences little or no rain for a long time. It is just like the Sahara desert but instead of sand, it is ice. Instead of 40 degrees Celsius, think of negative 20 degrees Celsius. One (of the best) example would be Antartica. Also at night a desert gets very cold. SO MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A SWEATER.

The fact that desert sand is very hot in the day and very cold at night is evidence that sand has a low specific heat capacity or high specific heat capacity?
High specific heat capacity, because it takes a significant amount of heat energy to raise the temperature of sand during the day, and that heat is released slowly at night, resulting in the temperature drop.
Where do tarantulas live in the desert?
Under the sand to escape the heat of the sun then at night they come out and hunt
