Which type of window is hinged at the top and opens outward? 

Explanation:

• An awning window is hinged at the top and opens outward from the bottom.

• It allows ventilation even during rain, as the opened sash acts like a small awning or roof, deflecting water away.

• Commonly used in basements, bathrooms, or above doors and other windows for added ventilation and light.

• It provides good weather protection, and its upward slant helps keep out rain and debris.
