It’s been getting colder where I live. I leave the heat on the same temperature all day and evening. However, as soon as the sun goes down, the house feels cooler. Why is this?

The sun heats your walls and your walls radiate heat inside with infrared radiation. The change in the heat being radiated to you from the walls is why it seems colder though the air is the same temperature.
