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?

If you leave your blinds open during the day, the sun actually heats up your house because of its’ rays. The rays are literally light, and when it shines in your house it heats it up. This is the main reason. The second reason could be psycholgical. When you see the sun set you anticipate cooler weather, same with when you see the sun come up and feel the suns rays you anticipate warmer weather. So when the sun sets, your body pretty much expects it to become colder, so you feel colder even with the same temperature. A lot of it is in the head.
