Can you close vents in colder rooms that are closer to the air return to send more cold air to warmer rooms farther from the air return?
Yes, you can adjust the airflow by changing the position of the vanes in the air distribution diffusers throughout your home. Keep in mind that these grilles have more than simple on/off positions and that you can regulate airflow with minor adjustments as well. For example, in my two story home we restrict cold airflow in downstairs rooms in the summertime because the upstairs rooms need more cold air. We do the reverse in winter. In commercial construction this is known as "test and balance" and specialty contractors are hired to perform this work, however, in your own home you can be the specialist. Make adjustments and note the difference after giving plenty of time, hours, for the air conditioner to perform. Yes, but I would not close it off altogether. If your register is adjustable, you should be able to use the adjustment to the max closed position and still get some air flow.
What else can I help you with?
Why do skyscrapers have revolving doors?
They are more energy efficient then regular doors. Less air escapes, keeping the inside warmer/colder
What is absorption refrigeration?
absorption refrigeration is when ice is put in a compartment above a warmer compartment and absorbs rising warm air thus making it colder.
Do you have to close basement windows if AC is not blowing into them?
Yes. Since cool air tends to concentrate at lower elevations, leaving basement windows open will result in considerable wasted electricity. While the AC may not be blowing into them, warmer air from outside will convect into the basement, mixing with the colder air and pushing colder air out.
What is the thermal conductivity of Cast iron?
Thermal conductivity refers to the measure of the ability of a material to allow the flow of heat from its warmer surface to its colder surface. The thermal conductivity of cast iron is 80 Wm-1K-1.

Is it true that if you get closer to the equator it gets warmer?
as you get closer it gets warmer and as you go farther away it gets colder
Are temperatures further from the equator hotter or colder?
Temperatures are generally hotter the closer you are to the equator, and colder the farther you are from it. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year compared to regions further away.
When you get higher in the atmosphere does the air get warmer or colder?
colder, the farther up you go, the lower the tempurature
Why some areas are colder?
depending on the climate different areas can be colder or hotter. closer to the equator will be warmer and likewise farther from the equator will be colder but besides that u have to factor in the height of the land and the usual weather those are all factors of the climate or the "area"
How does the revolution of the earth around the sun cause the seasons?
The farther the sun gets away from the earth, the colder it is, that is WInter and Fall. The closer it gets the warmer it gets. That is Spring and Summer.
Why you have four seasons during the year?
the earth revolves around the sun and as each part of earth turns closer or farther the earth gets warmer or colder creating seasons.
Why is it hot in the tropics and cold in the polar regions?
it is hot in the tropics because it is near the equater. anything near the equater will be warmer. it is colder in the polar regions because it is farther from the equater near equater= warmer farther from equater= colder
Would Kansas be warmer or colder than Maryland in the winter?
is colder because Kansas is from the ocean and is farder
How does earth's revolution around the sun causes the yearly cycle of seasons?
The farther the sun gets away from the earth, the colder it is, that is WInter and Fall. The closer it gets the warmer it gets. That is Spring and Summer.
Does the earth have warmer periods when the orbit is more elliptical?
yeah, its closer to the sun so its warmer when its nearly circular then its colder
How does latitude related to climate?
Climates closer to the equator are warmer, and those closer to the poles (either north or south) are colder.
Why are there so many seasons on the Earth?
there are so many seasons because as the earth gets closer to the sun, the temperature changes as it gets warmer, but when the earth get farther away from the sun, the temperature starts to change as it gets colder.
