If an igloo is unoccupied it will be about the same temperature inside as out.
If it's occupied, it's hard to say. It depends on how large it is, how many people are in it, how much clothing the people are wearing, how it was built (how thick the walls are, how well the cracks are sealed, if it has something to keep the warm air from going out the door), etc. But, I would make a wild guess that 10 to 30 degrees F warmer inside is typical.
But, if you add heat , say by cooking on a camping stove, then the temperature can really go up. Melting the inside of the igloo is not hard to do. I suspect temperatures 50 deg. F or more above the outside temperature are reasonable when you have a one burner camp stove running on high.
it is colder than ice
_________________
Wrong. It is not colder than ice. The ice helps keep the temperature ABOVE freezing. The occupants' body heat helps keep it above freezing.
The average temperature of an igloo with out people in it is about 20° ferhinhight, and with peope in it, about 75° F. Did you know that? It is because of the body heat...
Not as cold as it is outside the igloo, but it's chilly.
not very
Not really. There is a fire in the igloo so it's warm in there.
you could build a igloo and that can keep you warm and if you cant build a igloo then put your hand in your arm pits
There is a fire in the igloo that keeps the people living in it warm. The igloo is also made of a few layers of blocs of snow and ice so it can block the wind and cold weather from coming inside.
An igloo. Although snow is cold it gives off heat when inclosed in an igloo. That is how the eskimos were able to stay warm during the harsh winters.
wear really warm clothes
igloo is made of ice. ice is an insulator of heat by itself. it has a small entry so heat loss by conduction and convection are reduced. the hemispherical design helps to retain the heat from within and the structure is stable without any props
Snow has good insulating properties making it warmer inside. A person's body heat helps warm it up gradually.
It is more like "feel less cold". An igloo is made of blocks of snow. They serve to block wind, and insulate the air inside from the cold outside. If the air outside is -50F, the inside of the igloo might be a nice toasty 10F.
As you probably know snow is made of water and water is a very good insulator. It also takes a lot of heat to warm it up and an igloo will insulate and keep your body heat in and keep the cold out but sometimes people will put small fires to make it warmer The dome shape enables it to use your body heat as a heat source for the igloo. and a igloo (if made of ice blocks) uses snow or more ice as mortar to hold itself together, so the colder it gets outside, the better the igloo will hold its shape, and, in theory, it should insulate against the cold better.
A place I don't want live(or die).
The correct term is Inuit. If you actually go into an igloo, it is way warmer than any cabin. The ice blocks the heat from escaping, keeping it well insulated.
It's an igloo made out of snow. Sometimes it may get very warm in the igloo because the igloo packs together all the heat. Edit by Levanic... It can also be made of driftwood and dirt. Igloo simply means any kind of home. This mistake is reasonable however, as not many people know this awkward fact.
