Yes, it helps to keep heat out in the summer and keep it in when it is cool outside.
It has been my experience that African violets seem to prefer being a bit "pot bound" Mine tend not to bloom until the appear a bit crowded in their container. They also need a fair amount of sunlight to bloom. I keep mine on the covered front porch in summer where they get lots of bright but no direct sun light, and they bloom all summer.
African violets do not like direct sunlight because the leaves will be burned and unsightly spots will appear. They do need good light from the north or east window. They require 8 to 10 hours a day to bloom well. You can also grow violets using flourescent lighting. Give enough water to keep violets moist (not soaking wet) all the time.
Yes, African violets like acid soil, some people mix coffee grounds in around the soil to keep it acidic.
No it isn't. Leaving a hamster outside in a draught can be fatal. Maybe in Summer you could get away with it but fall, winter and spring is too risky. Mind you if you really wanted to in Spring you could have the hamster outside but only if it had a lot of bedding to keep it warm just incase but overall i wouldn't recommend leaving a hamster outside in any condition, it's better off inside where you know it is safe and warm.

Well, a simple, unscary answer is that its summer and its outside. Most shedding animals lose fur more rapidly during the summer as a means to keep cool.
Basically the freezer does work to keep the inside at a lower temperature than outside. The coolant is compressed, and uses absorbed heat to expand again.
You could go swimmingStay inside with a A/C onGo outside find shade and maybe a tiny fan (buy in most Walmarts)

Trees that keep their leaves in summer and lose them in autumn are deciduous.
The insulating effect of the thatch prevents heat getting in very quickly (cool in summer) and heat getting out very quickly (warm in winter)
