[1] It depends upon whether the fan's standard, or not. [2] Standard refers to how most fans are made. And most are made so that counterclockwise is what's needed for summer cooling, clockwise for winter heating. Non-standard's the opposite. [3] How to tell the difference? Check to see which way the blades rotate when the switch is up, as it should be for winter, or down for summer. Stand underneath the fan. With the former, at the highest setting, there shouldn't be a cool breeze in the face. With the latter, there should.
When the fan pulls air up to the ceiling it pushes warm air back down to heat the room. Turn the fan the other direction and it send a cooling breeze.
It would be better to place the heating vent near the floor because the heat will travel up and down, so that way the room would be heated evenly. If you place it near the ceiling, the heat would not heat the floor that well, since the heating vent sucks back in the heat
Heat rises, so it is hotter near the ceiling than near the floor.
They are placed on the floor because heat rises. If the heater was up high, the ceiling would be nice and warm, while the walls and floor would be cold.They are placed on the floor because heat rises.

Fans doesn't push heat or cold down but pushes air with force in the direction which is determined by the position of blades of fan.
In a hot room, you want heat to be pulled up to the ceiling, then distributed as cooler air around the room. You would set your ceiling fan to rotate clockwise to do this.
Fans should spin counterclockwise in the summer. The counterclockwise rotation pushes cool air down, while clockwise rotation can be used at a low speed in the winter to pull cool air up and push warmer air down.Keep in mind, though, that ceiling fans don't actually cool rooms—they just create a breeze that has a wind chill effect, making you feel cooler. So you can turn the fan off if nobody's home.

The answer is no. Radiant ceiling heating does not work as well as radiant floor heating in that heat rises so having heat in the ceiling will not be as efficient as heating in the floor.
In winter, fan should blow down,heat rises,get it back. In summer ,fan should blow up for a 2 story vaulted ceiling,to circulate air but not blow down hot air.On a one story in summer it can blow either,but it's a prefference.Up is ok,but down you get a lower cool index feeling.
You either grab it and twist counter-clockwise or it will just pull out. I might be a little tough to get out due to the heat the area is exposed to.
Yes because of the warmth in the house. That warmth will flow from the air to heat the counter top and melt the snowball
It is a heat shield.
Having the ceiling fan blow upwards will circulate the heat through the entire room.
Windows, doors, floors and ceiling will cause heat loss.
