GFI electrical outlet at the garage where the freezer hook up keeps on tripping but when plug at the electrical outlet of the garage door openner does not trip. What is mostly the problem?

Electric motors and GFI's do not get along. the initial draw to get the compressor going is usually enough to trip the GFI. Turn the breaker off and switch the GFI for a regular outlet and you will solve your problem.

What is the problem with floating inputs?
The problem with floating inputs is that electrical noise in the line could trigger the input without user input. This can easily be avoided with a pull-up or pull-down resistor.

Can a freezer be on same circuit as sub pump?
No, a sump pump should be its own circuit and although it's not code, you should also have your freezer on it's own circuit. If they were on the same circuit it would most likely trip the breaker or blow the fuse. This could result in a wet basement and the food in the freezer thawing out!
Refrigerator kicks off breaker on occasion it is a 30 amp breaker does this sound like a refrig or a wiring problem?
If there is nothing else on the circuit the odds are it kicks off when the compressor starts. This is a motor and the starting current is higher running current. The breaker senses this surge and trips. Either the compressor is drawing more current because of a problem with shunt somewhere in the winding of the motor or the breaker is tripping because it has a problem that has essentially made it more sensitive to current and is tripping on a lower current than it is rated for. The cheapest fix is to replace the breaker. If you know what you are doing you coudl just switch breakers with an equally rated breaker in the electric panel. If you don't know what you are doing find someone who does. If this doesn't fix the problem it is likely a faulty compressor.

Is electrical power outrage a problem that involves geography?
Yes, electrical power outages can be influenced by geography.

Why is your dusk to dawn light shut off when you run another power source?
If the circuit breaker or the GFCI receptacle tripping you are pulling too many amps through the circuit. If that is not the problem you have a problem with the electrical wiring and probably requires an electrician to spot the problem If you are talking about using a different plug in, and it isn't working, the circuit more than likely doesn't have power or the receptacle need to be replaced due to being worn out

You have problem of simultaneous tripping with other small power circuits but not instant?
Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz power supply service. Tripping of what - RCD would probably point towards an earth/neutral fault Tripping of MCB would point to a small overload or a circuit with a thermostatically controlled device such as a fridge.
Why does your main circuit breaker trip when your dryer runs 15 minutes Is it because your vent needs to be cleaned?
Could be but you could also have a weak breaker that will no longer hold the load of your dryer. That is if your talking about your dryer breaker tripping. If your "main breaker" is tripping you have a different problem. Call an electrician in that case. A plugged up dryer shouldn't be tripping your main
