An air conditioner cools through the compression and expansion of gas (usually Freon). The gas is compressed, and gets hot because of the compression. The hot gas is then sent through a coil, where the heat is blown off with a fan (this is the hot air you're getting on the "outside" of the air conditioner). Once the heat has been vented off, the gas moves into another coil, where the gas goes through a small hole into larger tubing, where the gas is allowed to expand again. That expansion causes the gas to cool, and that is once again blown off of the coil.
So, to summarize... freon is compressed into a small tube using a compressor. The compressed gas heats up and is vented outside. The gas then goes through a small aperture into a larger, more spacious tube where it expands rapidly and cools. That cools the coil, and the cold air is blown into the room. The gas then returns to the compressor to repeat the process.
So, the reason that an air conditioner blows hot air outside, is because it's blowing cool air inside.

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.
Which action would help an air conditioner use less energy on a hot sunny summer day?

Why does an air conditioner must cycle on and off to keep the room cooled to a preset temperature?
Seriously? Cold air blows out of the air conditioner when it's on, reducing the temperature of the room. When the temperature in the room reaches some preset value, the air conditioner shuts off to prevent the temperature from dropping any lower. Once the air conditioner is shut off, heat sources within the room including people, appliances, and heat entering through walls and windows causes the temperature in the room to increase. When this happens the air conditioner kicks on again to bring the temperature back down. It ain't rocket science.
