No. Lava heats up the air. In turn, the air cools the lava.

What cools down lava?

Lava cools down primarily through heat loss to its surroundings, such as the surrounding air and ground. Water can also cool lava quickly by causing it to solidify rapidly. Other methods include covering the lava with ash or other insulating materials to help it cool more slowly.

It can cool lava somewhat, but so does air or anything else that is at a lower temperature than the lava. It would not cool lava enough to make noticeable difference.


Why does lava take a long time to cool down?

Lava takes a long time to cool down because it has very high temperatures, sometimes exceeding 1,000 degrees Celsius. The large difference in temperature between the lava and its surroundings means heat transfer happens slowly. Additionally, lava is a poor conductor of heat, further contributing to the slow cooling process.

this is like warm, less dense air rises while cool more dense sinks. This is like the lava lamp the hot "lava" floats up to the top and and the cooler "lava" sinks down to the bottom and heats up and rises and the cooling stuff at the top is now sinking

When you have volcanoes on Mercury would the lava get hotter?

No. While the day side of Mercury is quite hot, it is not nearly as hot as lava. So any lava that would erupt on Mercury would still cool down and solidify. The lack of an atmosphere would mean that the lava would cool more slowly than lava on Earth does.
