About Deserts

Deserts are defined by extremely low precipitation, not necessarily high heat — some of the coldest places on Earth are technically deserts.

Antarctica is technically the largest desert in the world by area, due to its minimal precipitation.
The Sahara is the largest hot desert, roughly the size of the continental United States.
Many desert plants, like cacti, store water in thick, fleshy tissue.
Desert temperatures can swing dramatically between day and night due to low humidity.
