A basement is typically cooler than the rest of the house because it is underground and lacks direct sunlight. The temperature difference can vary depending on factors like insulation and ventilation.

How much cooler does a fan make a room?

A fan can make a room feel about 3-4 degrees cooler by circulating air and creating a breeze.


When a hot object is placed in contact with a cooler object the hot object warms a cooler one can you say it loses as much temperature as the cooler one gains?

No. One object will lose as much HEAT as the other gains. The change in temperature, on the other hand, will depend on the masses involved and on their heat capacity. It is even possible that one object's temperature reduces, while the other doesn't increase at all - for example, when ice melts.


Why is it cooler to wear light-colored clothes on a hot day than dark clothes?

Light-colored clothes reflect more sunlight, while dark-colored clothes absorb more heat. This means that light-colored clothes don't absorb as much heat from the sun, keeping you cooler on hot days compared to dark clothes which can make you feel hotter.


The reason the Sun's radiant energy is of shorter wavelengths than the Earth's is because the Sun?

is a much hotter object compared to Earth, so it emits higher-energy, shorter-wavelength radiation in the form of visible light, ultraviolet, and infrared. Earth, being cooler, emits longer-wavelength radiation in the form of infrared.


How much more do hotter objects emit than cooler objects?

Hotter objects emit significantly more radiation than cooler objects. According to Stefan-Boltzmann's law, the total energy radiated by a blackbody is directly proportional to the fourth power of its temperature. This means that a small increase in temperature leads to a much larger increase in emitted radiation.

Where do you place home air conditioner?

This is really a question of taste, I believe. Which part of your house do you want to be cool? Many people opt for the bedroom, so it is cool when they sleep. Or, you could go for an energy-friendly alternative. In the house I grew up in we used to install it in the basement. As the basement was already naturally cool, one window unit was able to keep the whole basement nicely cool, and helped dehumidify it. I now live in Florida and had the same question but, we didn't have a basement. My wife called BudgetAirSupply.com at 855-473-6484 and they suggested that we install our portable air conditioner in the house which gets used the most. So, we installed it in the family room. Their advice was spot on and the whole house is much cooler now.

How much does a basement cost?

It cost around 10-25k, depending on size and current condition of a basement. 10k would be on the lower side, and in most cases it would cost more. Although, this would include just the finish basement and basic electric stuff (outlets, lights etc) if you want plumbing work (like a bathroom) or ac/heating it would cost more. And if you buy and then do a finish basement, you have to pay for it, if you buy a house with finished basement then your downpayment will only increase slightly. Still, you should buy a house you like. Finish basement isn't hard to do, as long as you can pay to get it done. BUt the main thing is that to find a good quality experience basement renovation or construction contractor. That will help you much.

Will it hurt your cat to stay in the dark basement?

No, but leaving a cat in the dark a great deal of the time is not recommended, and could be considered cruel. Make sure the basement has no places the cat can get trapped in. Leave food, water, and a place to sleep, but it is much kinder to let the cat wander about the house as much as it pleases.
