-5 is greater than -10

For real numbers, the definition of "less than" can be expressed as "is to the left on the number line". Because -10 is to the left of -5, -10 is considered to be less than -5.

It helps to think of temperature: Temperature measures heat, so if it's -10 degrees outside, that's colder than -5; I.e. there's less heat.
