The speed of sound in air increases with temperature, as the density of the air decreases.

Answer: Only hot gasses travel upwards. This is because gas expands when it it heated and is therefore less dense. The more dense colder gasses are attracted more strongly by gravity so the hotter gasses are displaced.
Because the molecules are less dense and they vibrate faster letting sound travel faster
They travel faster through solids
Waves travel faster in denser mediums. For example, sound travels faster in water than air.
When they are hotter.
the air molecules are moving faster
Yes, but I am trying to figure out why. Hope I helped!! :-)
I would think in warmer Air....
North America has both hot and cold weather. The farther north you go, the colder the winters are. The farther south you travel, the hotter the summers are.
Sound travels faster in higher temperatures because in higher temperatures the molecules collide more often. Thus, as the temperature of the medium decrease, the speed of sound decreases. So in the summer.

An echo can be heard during a hotter day. In fact, soundwaves travel faster during hotter days so a person would hear the echo a lot sooner than they would on a really cold day.
Sound can travel, more or less, through any matter, but not at all through a vacuum. The main factors that affect the speed of sound are as follows: Temperature: Hotter materials allow sound to travel faster Density: Sound travels faster in denser materials Elasticity: This means the ability for the molecules of a material to bounce back to their original positions quicky. The more elastic a material, the faster sound can travel through it.

It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
