No. Marble is rather soft and absorbs water. The freeze-thaw cycle will slowly disintegrate the table.

Well.. not really.. because it will be suceptable (sp?) to the same extremes as roadways are.. freezing and thawing cause contraction in cold and expansion in warmer times, which could cause cracking. Now.. that said. It depends on the thickness of the marble.. the thinner, the more easily cracked.. the thicker the safer... If you do leave it out I would insilate the marble if you can with foam and a tarp or something to help limit the extreme temp changes.

No I really dont think so, perhaps covered and in a garage would make more sense. The elements would kill the smooth finish on it. U probablly paid alot of money for it and pricey items needs the most care. If u were gonna neglect this table like this, you should have bought a cheap plastic one/\.

I would not do so, depending where you live. If your area has lots of temperture changes, it's possible to crack. I live in Maryland and had a marble table crack! This area has extreme temperture changes in the winter.

As far as temperature, it should be fine. After all, marble is a natural stone. However... I would cover it with something since marble is porous. It will keep it from staining.

Depends on where you live. I wouldn't let snow build up on it, but Roman marble statues survived for centuries until auto emissions started destroying them. Just keep it covered.
