What else can I help you with?
If a house is warmer upstairs than downstairs Is it due to radiation conduction convection or refraction?
The reason that upstairs areas tend to be warmer is due to convection. Warm air rises, so unless there is some method of circulation, the upper floor (or the ceiling of a single level house) is where the warmer, less dense air will stay.
Why is it harder to cool the upstairs with an air conditioner?
It is harder to cool the upstairs with an air conditioner because hot air rises, causing the upstairs to be naturally warmer than the downstairs. Additionally, heat gain from the roof and windows in the upstairs area can make it more difficult for the air conditioner to maintain a consistent temperature. Poor insulation and air leakage in the upstairs can also contribute to the difficulty in cooling the space effectively.
What is the transfer of energy from warmer objects to cooler objects called?
The transfer of energy from warmer objects to cooler objects is called heat transfer. This can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation.
What transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in earths atmosphere is an example of?
The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in Earth's atmosphere is an example of convection. As warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, heat is transferred through the circulation of air in the atmosphere.
Can a cold spoon transfer heat?
No. Heat can only be transferred to a cold spoon, not the other way round (as there is no heat in a cold spoon to transfer). A simple example is when a cold teaspoon is used to stir a hot cup of tea. When the spoon is withdrawn, it is hot.
The upstairs being warmer than the downstairs is an example of what?
Convection

If you have a two-story house and no one stays upstairs can you simply turn the AC off and only leave the downstairs AC running?
Cold air is heavier, as it gets warmer it will go up. If you turn on the thermostat on the second floor the air will come down and then go up as it gets warmer, making the air circulate. When the weather is very hot use both AC units (upstairs and downstairs), but if the weather is not so hot rest one unit and you will prolong it's life.
You had a whole home dehumidifier and your old plenum replaced you now have unequal cooling in your home and the upstairs rooms are cooler then the downstairs Any answers?
i had a new whole home dehumidifier put in my 2400 sq.ft. 2 story home. I also had my plenum replaced. Now my kitchen is noticably warmer now. my upstairs bedrooms are now cooler then the entire downstairs. Any answers?

What floor is it warmer in the house?
Heat rises, so unless your roof insulation is really crappy, the upstairs and attic will always be warmer.

What is an example of the transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in the earth's atmosphere called?
The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in the Earth's atmosphere is called convection. This occurs as warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, creating a continuous cycle of heat transfer.
How do you use a fan to help keep more of the heat in the basement rather than so much of it going upstairs?
By moving the warmer air from upstairs back down. There are systems available that can be installed to do this for you, or you can make your own.
Is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer true or false?
True. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
