Cones are open when dry and closed when wet. This assures that the small, wind disseminated seeds will be dispersed during relatively dry weather, and thus, the distance traveled from the parent tree will be enhanced. (Wikipedia)
Pine cones close in response to changes in humidity, temperature, or the presence of moisture. Closing helps protect the seeds inside from harsh conditions, such as freezing temperatures or excessive moisture, until the environment is more favorable for germination.
The pine cones that you are familiar with are probably female pine cones. You probably have never noticed male pine cones because they are much smaller and don't look much like the female pine cones. Male pine cones are much smaller and produce pollen grains. Female pine cones contain the egg. The pollen is carried from the male pine cones to the female pine cones by the wind.
pine cones are among the most reliable of all natural weather indicators. in dry weather the scales dry up and open out. if they start to close up it is a sure sigh that wet weather is on the way
Pink pine cones are young or immature pine cones that sometimes occur on pine trees. They are not very common. They usually have a light rose to dark magenta hue. As they grow older, they start turning green or brown.
They produce the seeds that new trees grow from.
they are cold
as matter of fact that question was good .

Pine cones can help predict weather as they respond to changes in humidity. When the air is dry, pine cones open up to release their seeds; when it is damp, they close up to protect the seeds. By observing how pine cones behave, one can infer the humidity levels and possibly predict weather changes.
pine cones
Roots, trunk, branches, twigs , needles and cones.
Pine cones are where the seeds for new pine trees develop.

There are exactly 150 pine cones on most of the pine cones on earth. the ones that don't are freshly starting out their lives. Thats a fact I'm a wildly successful wildlife habitat and science expert.............. trust me.
rats do not eat pine cones
The Austrian pine Pinus nigra carries cones that bear the seeds, therefore, no cones, no seed.
All conifers carry cones. that's where they get their name. Only Pine trees carry pine cones.
