Design an image that metaphorically illustrates temperature differences between two areas of a house, one downstairs and one upstairs. The downstairs area is cooler, at 22 degrees Celsius, while the upstairs is warmer, at 26 degrees Celsius. Ensure the image contains no text. Depict subtle gradients of temperature using colors: cold blue for the lower part to indicate the cooler temperature downstairs and warm orange for the upper part to represent the warmth upstairs. Include symbols for air molecules in subtle motion to represent energy transfer, but avoid detailed physical interactions.

Use the table of temperatures measured in two areas of a house to answer the question.

Area Temperature (ºC)
downstairs 22
upstairs 26
Which statement best explains the temperature difference?
