Please don't use a car's ignition coil as an example. Let's just say it's an ordinary transformer. If you connect 1800 volts AC to one side of the transformer and you get 12 volts out of the other side, then the turns of wire are in the same ratio as the voltages ... 1800/12 = 150.
A car coil doesn't work like an ordinary transformer. In a car, you put 12-volt pulses into one side, and you get voltage out of the other side that's high enough to fire spark plugs and ignite gasoline.
So you've actually got the primary and secondary windings labeled in reverse in the question, and you're actually using it as a step-DOWN transformer.

When we get out of the bed on a very cold morning, we feel that the air of the room is cold. But when we come back after staying
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

This is because the air outside is always cooler than the air inside, so after staying outside your body adapts to the cold air, when you come back inside, the cold air is still in you which makes the room seem warmer.
