Bad girl for asking, bad boy for doing the homework!
Hace frio = its cold, Hace mucho frio = its very cold
I'm very sorry, but we do not help with homework here. As I suggested in your earlier question, try to answer the question yourself and we will be happy to help if you do not understand something.
It might help if you think of the way to ask about the weather.
¿qué tiempo hace?
The verb hacer: to do or make means that you are asking:
What is the weather doing?
(we say that too in English sometimes)
the difference is that in Spanish you reply with the same verb 'hacer' instead of swapping as we do in English to the verb 'to be' - it's cold.
In Spanish you could answer:
hace frío - it is doing/making cold - or the equivalent of our English - it is cold
