Answer:

Generally, 40 to 50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

About the heat-up over time, whether the windows of a vehicle are locked or partially open makes very little difference. In both situations, in an internal temperature of a vehicle, even at an outside temperature of only 72 ° F, it may exceed approximately 40 ° F within one hour. This happens mainly due to the greenhouse effect that is the heat inside the car is trapped and not allowed to escape. Thus, raising the temperature of the vehicle.
