Answer 8

Hi! i'm shama. i would have to say, it depends on how long the refrigerator door was left open. if it was left open for three days in a closed room with no windows or doors, then the tempreture would probebly drop. if it was just left open for a few minutes, or an hour even, then nothing would change in the tempreture. thanks for reading my response! shama
