A teacher opens a window on a cold day. Which statement explains why the room starts to feel cooler is it cold air is moving into the room from outside or the density of the air is lower on the inside then on the outside or air moves from the areas of higher temperature to the areas of a lower temperature or the kinetic energy of the air molecules outside is higher than the kinetic energy of the air molecules inside

The statement that best explains why the room starts to feel cooler when a teacher opens a window on a cold day is: "air moves from the areas of higher temperature to the areas of lower temperature."

When the window is opened, the warmer air inside the room (which has a higher temperature) tends to move toward the colder air outside (which has a lower temperature). As the warmer air leaves the room, it is replaced by the cooler air from outside, causing the overall temperature of the room to decrease and making it feel cooler.
