Confused over 'hay' and 'hace'

Hay and hace both seem to use nouns but they don't seem to be interchangeable. I'm puzzled as to why, for example, it's hace calor but hay humedad.

2 Questions re: this exercise A trip to the Sierra de Atapuerca

Hello,

A couple of questions:

1. How to tell when to use an article in cases like this:

Kwizbot Mañana vamos a ir a la Sierra de Atapuerca.
You Mañana vamos a ir a Sierra de Atupuerca.

2. Why “there” does not translate to “allá”

and many people travel there

Kwizbot y muchas personas viajan a este lugar
You y muchas personas viajan allá

En que abranI have a question about this construction in one of the examples for this lesson:No veo la hora en que abran el nuevo centro comercial.I can't wait for the new shopping centre to open.Could you explain the use of "en que abran" (plural)? I thought it should be "en que abra" (singular). Does "abran" refer to unspecified "they"? Thanks.

I don't understand the difference between the past tenses especially for service and estar. When should it be indefinite or imperfect?
