Would the size of someone determine how warm or cold they are?

Let's assume we have three subjects: a giant (50 ft tall), a human (6 ft tall) and a fairy (6 inches tall).

Common sense would lead you to believe that the giant would fair better in the cold, as opposed to the human and fairy and vice versa, assuming the terrain is a desert.

However, is this true to life? Assuming we do away with a square-cube law and scale a humanoid up and down by 8, would this have any effect on how they deal with temperature? Would size let them fair better or worse in different situations, or is size a factor that has no jurisdiction to how a being deals with temperature?
