How does the storage temperature of popcorn affect the ratio of kernels popped?

The storage temperature of popcorn affects the ratio of kernels popped, because if you freeze the kernels, it messes with the moisture in the middle of the kernels. (The moisture is what heats up, causing the popcorn to explode.)
But when the popcorn is stored at room temperature the moisture is not altered in any way, making it the BEST way to pop the kernel.

Yes. Higher temperatures will cause it to stale more quickly and will dry out the popcorn faster, making it pop less. That is why people keep there popcorn in cupboards and not in a heated area.

All popcorn bags are different might have less kernels or less unpopped kernels when u cook it. I am doing a science fair project and I'm doing it on, "Does the different brands of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels?" I have a lot of info that you can see above. You think there is no a lot of info but go to Google and type in, "does different types of popcorn affect the total of unpopped kernels and look. One thing that makes a difference is amount of popcorn in the bag, how much time you put it in for, and the most important is INGREDIENTS. This girl did something like this and she said palm oil makes a difference. The smallest things make the biggest differences.

How does different brands of popcorn affect the unpopped kernels?
Popping ability it related to the toughness of the outer hull of the popcorn and the moisture content of the kernel. The best popping brands have a thinner outer shell and a higher moisture content. They have been hybridized to produce these qualities.
