Question:

which climate cause skateboard bearings to spin faster in the heat or in cold climate?Does heat cause bearings

does cold or hot temperatures cause skate bearings or any bearing to spin faster?

Answer:

cold temps would make them go faster if you have metal bearings because they expand which causes more friction. Im pretty sure ceramic bearing dont expand and that is why they are so expensive.
It depends on the type of lubricant in the bearing. At higher temperatures the viscosity of the lubricant will be such that it moves through the medium faster. Higher temp, faster.
heat will cause the bearings to expand and cause more friction. Colder weather will cause the bearing to shrink and then there will be less friction; however, if it's lubricated, the heat will cause the lubricant to be more fluid and causeing the bearings to move quicker and the cold weather will be the opposite
if there just bones RED not swiss i guess they wont work as good in cold like in the heat because the cold causes humidity and if they get wet they wont work right
