Why is the freezer more frozen after not shutting it properly?

784 viewsOtherPhysics

Basically the title: If I leave the freezer door slightly open it seems to be “more frozen” than before – big chunks of ice on everything, stuff frozen together. Why is that? The food can go bad in this state but it LOOKS colder (I know this is stupid). In my mind it should just melt and warm up 🤷🏻‍♀️

Humidity in the air means condensation forms on all the cold surfaces, which then freezes into frost.
