Question about Aang from Avatar: Why doesn't he seem to be affected by temperature?

I really like this TV show, but I'm the kind of person who over-analyzes stuff and comes up with a bunch of random questionsThis kid doesn't seem to be affected by temperatureI mean, in the very first episode they're in the SOUTH POLE, for Pete's sake (who is Pete, anyway?) and everyone else is all bundled up while Aang's walking around in the snow wearing the same exact thing he wears pretty much all the timeAlso, Katara and Sokka have their furry sleeping bags, but Aang just sleeps on the floor without even a blanketIs there like some airbending thing he does to be comfortable in extreme temperatures, or what?

Answer:

Very small particles might not matter too much - in the sense that they might not cause catastrophic failureFrom there up, the larger the more dangerous, but also 1 the rarer; and 2 the easier to detectFor example, I seem to remember that the ISS was recently moved out of the way of some space junk that NASA had noticedOf course, detection is harder when the object coming towards you is not also in orbitYou would have very little time to find it, compute its orbit, and do something about itSo frankly, the main technique being used so far by all space organisations is to cross their fingers, close their eyes tight and wish very hardSo far it seems to have worked.
If a baseball-sized meteor had hit one of the space shuttles it would have been destroyedBut the odds against it are also very highA meteor that size will survive reentry, so the chances are much better of it hitting a passenger jet in flight, but how often does that happen? Never, as far as we can tell.
Meteors that are the size of a marble and a baseball can be protected from, the armor would be thick enough to protect the ship from those meteors and the micro meteorites tooI don't think that a baseball size meteor or something similar in size would do much damage to the shipIf a large oversized giant meteor hits the spacecraft or ship, then I think that the astronauts are doomed, I mean what could be done to prevent this.
He's a monkIn real life (our world), a lot of monks are very skilled at maintaining a constant body temperature, and even increasing and decreasing their temperature just through meditation and things like thatAlso, the Avatar world's South Pole isn't like our world'sThe continents are closer together- I'll bet that, while it is cold, it's not so cold that he wouldn't be able to survive.
