Why is it hotter near the ceiling than near the floor of a room?
Heat rises, so it is hotter near the ceiling than near the floor.
Why are radiators placed near the floor and not the ceiling?
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.

In order to heat a room evenly should heating vents be palced near the floor or near the cieling of the room?
Heat rises. So, in areas with long winters, the vents typically are in the floor. But it depends on the construction of the house, where the heating unit is installed and what type it is, etc. So, no easy answer. Ceiling fans are helpful in keeping air circulating, moving warmer air from the top of the room downward which helps even out the temps from floor to ceiling.
Why does the temperature near the ceiling tend to be warmer than near the floor?
Hot air rises cold air falls, a example of this is hot-air balloons, hot-air balloons use a fire to heat up the air inside it so it will rise and they also have a latch to relase some of the hot air so that the ballon will desend.
Why do you put air conditioners near the ceiling?
Not all AC's are in or near the ceiling. Many go in windows and there are a number of portable units. But the principle is, heat rises, cool air falls. So the higher the cool air starts to fall is, the more warm air it cools on the way down.
Is cooler or warmer near the ceiling?
wamer
Why would a heater work better near the floor than on the ceiling?
Because heat rises.
Why is it hotter near the ceiling than near the floor of a room?
Heat rises, so it is hotter near the ceiling than near the floor.
Why the air temperature near the ceiling of the room tends to be warmer than near the floor?
Because warm air rises over cool air. Warm air is less dense than cool air, and it's lifted by buoyancy and floats on the more dense cool air.
Why are exhaust fans in kitchen fixed near the ceiling?
Cooking odors are usually found in the warmer air around stoves and ovens. This air typically rises to the ceiling. Most exhaust fans are either directly above the stove or in the ceiling above the cooking surfaces. Exhaust fans are more efficient at removing cooking odors than recirculating fans (which use charcoal filters).
Why is the air in a heated room usually cooler near the floor than the ceiling?
because hot air rises and cold air sinks.
Why is the air temperature near the ceiling of a room tends to be warmer than near th floor?
The hot air is lighter than the cool air so it floats to the ceiling.:)

Why are heaters fitted near the floor and air conditioners near the ceiling of a room?
Cold air falls...warm air rises
Why is the air warmer when its near the ceiling?
Warmer air is less dense than colder air (think PV = nRT. If T goes up V goes up too). As a result, the warmer air rises due to buoyancy effects. Since air is not a very good conductor of heat, the temperature gradient persists unless the air is forced to mix. This is a reason why running a ceiling fan in the winter can help get a room warmer - by mixing the warmer air at the top of the room with the cooler air lower down.
Why should air-conditioning installation be near the ceiling of a room instead of the floor?
Because cooler air, being more dense, will tend to gravitate downwards as it replaces the warmer air.
In order to heat a room should heating vents be placed near the floor or near the ceiling of the room?
Heating vents should be located near the floor since hot air rises. If the heating vents are located near the ceiling the heat would stay there and not warm the room.
