This is because wood is neither a conductor of heat or coldness. In summer, the wooden benches don't conduct the heat of the sun and seem cool. And in winter, when it is very cold, it doesn't conduct the cold and seems warm.

Yes, teepees were designed to be cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Their conical shape allowed hot air to rise and escape, keeping the interior cooler during hot weather. In winter, the thick layers of animal hides and the small opening at the top helped retain heat from a fire, making them warmer in cold conditions. This design effectively adapted to the varying climates faced by the Indigenous peoples who used them.

Why it is cooler by the lake in the summer and warmer in the winter?

Lakes have a moderating effect on temperature due to their high specific heat capacity, which means they can absorb and store heat. In summer, water absorbs heat from the sun, keeping the air above the lake cooler than surrounding areas. Conversely, in winter, lakes release stored heat slowly, making the air above them warmer compared to the colder land areas. This phenomenon results in cooler summer temperatures and milder winter temperatures near lakes.
