Does warm air take up more space?

yes, as the particles of air are heated, it moves more rapidly, which causes it to expand

Does warm air expand?

Yes, warm air expands because the molecules in the air move faster and spread apart, causing the air to take up more space. This expansion leads to a decrease in air density.


Cold air has more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space then warm air therefore it has a what pressure?

Cold air has more molecules occupying space than warm air, therefore it has high pressure.


Does cold air or warm air have more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space?

cold air


Why doesn't cold air takes up space?

Cold air does take up space. All matter does.Cold air just takes up less space than warm air.


Why does thermal energy flow upwards?

I assume ... Thermal meaning warm(th) and by upwards flow you would be talking about air? Immagine this ... If you take a bit of metal and you warm it up (a lot), it expands. something very similar happens to the air. When you warm things up what you are really doing is making the particles move around a whole bunch more ... meaning that they need more space. Now if the particales are suddenly taking up more space and so are further apart from each other you will have fewer particles in a 10 by 10 space full of warm air than in a 10 by 10 space of cold air. This means that the 10 by 10 space of warm air is also lighter than the 10 by 10 space of cold air and so can rise to the top, creating an 'upward' flow. If we didnot live on a planet and so did not have such a strong gravitational field, this wouldn't happen! (not to mention that there is no proper 'up and down' in space)


The molecular activity associated with heat causes warm air to blank than colder air?

heat causes warm air to occupy more space than colder air.


Does Cold Air Exerts More Pressure Than Warm Air?

In warm air, molecules are spaced farther apart. As air cools, molecular activity and movement slows down which cause compaction of the molecules. The increased density of air in the same space automatically increases the overall weight. That is why warmer air layers over cold air because the cold air is 'heavier' and sinks to the ground while the 'lighter', warm air rises.


What is cold air more than warm air?

Cold air is more dense than warm air.


Cold air has more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space than warm air therefore it has what kind of pressure?

Cold air has higher pressure than warm air because there are more air molecules in a given volume, leading to more frequent collisions with the walls of the container, thus generating greater pressure.


How can you use convection to keep warm?

To use convection to keep warm, you can place a radiator or space heater by a wall or in a corner. The warm air rising from the heater will create a convection current that circulates the heat around the room. Additionally, you can also position a fan near the heater to help distribute the warm air more evenly throughout the space.


Is cold air more or less dense compared to warm air?

Cold air is more dense than warm air.
