this is because cold air is denser (when things lose energy or heat, they shrink), and heavier than the air in your house. when you oppen the door, the ouside air will rush in under the hot air in your house and the hot air will try to rise up and ouside.

Why does your door shut easier in the winter than in the summer?
in the summer, there is more humidity and it causes the wood to swell. When it is cold outside, the swelling goes down and it is easier to close the door without it rubbing against the frame. Heat expands everything, the doors and house included. When they expand the door will rub against the frame. When it's cold things will contract or constrict and therefore the door and house will shrink and be easier to open. ( The house will shrink but since there is a space where the door is the house won't shrink inwards at the door frame but when it expands it will close the gap of the door frame).

How many degrees does the oven drop when opening the door?
There are several factors that goes into knowing how much the temperature drop is: 1. The dimensions of your oven, especially the door 2. How hot your oven is (the hotter it is, the faster it will lose heat) 3. How long you keep your oven door open Obviously the longer your oven door is open, the more heat it will lose but the longer it is open the slower the heat will escape. It would be a parabolic shaped graph. So it would be fairly hard to tell EXACTLY what the temperature drop would be but I would estimate that if you take an average sized oven at 350 degrees and opened it to put in that lasagna for the first time, then closed it, it would lose about 20-40 degrees.
