Yes, cold air can flow into a house through windows, especially if they are old, poorly sealed, or have single-pane glass. Gaps, cracks, or inadequate insulation around the window frames can allow cold drafts to enter. This can lead to increased energy costs as heating systems work harder to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. Proper sealing and insulation can help minimize this cold air intrusion.

Fish don't hibernate. They have to stay active to breathe, unless there are strong enough currents to maintain the flow of water through their gills.

What movements in air pressure occur in the inside of a small house - on nights after hot days and when windows are opened while theres a notable temperature difference between indoors and outdoors?

During the night after a hot day, the air inside a small house will cool faster than the air outside. As a result, the warm air inside will rise towards the ceiling, creating a pressure difference with cooler air near the floor. When windows are opened, air will flow from high to low pressure areas, causing a cool breeze to enter the house through lower windows and push warm air out through upper windows.


How does double glazing work?

Double Glazing Stops Conduction and Convection but not radiation because you can see through glass: Double glazing keeps your house at a constant temperature because there is a vacuum in between two layers of glass. There is no air or particles of any kind in a vacuum, so heat cannot be conducted through it. Therefore the heat inside the building cannot be lost to outside, and vice versa. Windows are designed to let in light, while blocking air and objects from entering the house. In addition, windows provide some insulation, but not much. Windows are only a few millimeters thick, and heat can easily flow through them, making it more expensive to heat and cool your house. Double glazed windows are designed to let light through while blocking the movement of heat, turning your windows into good insulators.

Why does energy flow out of the house?

It is not clear what sort of energy you are talking about. In the case of heat: heat has a natural tendency to flow from hotter objects to colder objects. If your house is hotter than the surroundings, then heat energy will flow out of it.


Why windows in cold countries have double doors?

Air in between the two doors forms a non-conducting layer & does not allow heat from inside to flow outside.

How is an ocean current considered to be warm or cold?

Warm or cold defines the temperature of the water. In general warm currents flow north and cold currents flow south. That makes sense. Also warm currents flow on the surface and cold currents flow deep since cold water is denser than warm water.
