Assuming the conditions for an ideal gas: PV=nRT (an "ideal" gas)
V =nR/P * T --> V=volume, T=temperature,
D=M/V --> D=density, M=mass, V=Volume
Therefore
D =M/(nR/P *T) -->Sub in for V
D=MP/(nRT)
If you assume constant MP/nR then
D = k/T , k=MP/nR, D=density and T= temperature
Higher temperature air is less dense.Less-Dense air has a higher temperature
As altitude increases, air pressure and density decrease because there are fewer air molecules moving closer together due to gravity. This results in lower air pressure and overall density at higher altitudes. On the other hand, as temperature increases, air molecules expand and move further apart, causing a decrease in air pressure and density.
= What is low air density? = well, high or low are relative concepts. Normally the standard air density of the air is defined as the density of the air at 15ºC and at sea level pressure (standard conditions), what give a value of 1,225kg/m3. This way, we can talk about high or low air density related to the standard value. Air density depends on temperature and pressure. The colder the temperature the higher the density is, and the higher the height in the atmosphere the lower the density becomes. In the Everest peak, e.g., air density can be lower than 0,5. Meanwhile in the Antarctica (at sea level) the density could reach values higher than 1,5.
Sorry, the atmospheric pressure has really nothing to do with the speed of sound at 0c, but he temperature is very important Scroll down to related links and read the short article "Speed of sound - temperature matters, not air pressure". The air pressure and the air density are proportional to each other at the same temperature.
Temperature is always measured when surface have transition from hot to cold or vice-versa. When molecules decrease in density, implies the individual molecules get cooler/hotter faster to room temp.hence,When air molecules decrease air temperature rapidly changes to room temperature or ambient temperature.
Density and temperature of air are inversely related. As temperature increases, air molecules move faster and spread out, leading to a decrease in density. Conversely, as temperature decreases, air molecules slow down, causing them to pack closer together and resulting in an increase in density.
cold air has higher density, by hot air is opposite
Higher temperature air is less dense.Less-Dense air has a higher temperature
Scroll down to related links and look at "Density of air - Wikipedia". See: "Importance of temperature".
For a given volume and pressure, the mass of the air contained in that volume (density) will decrease as the temperature increases.
Lower temperature air is more dense.
As temperature increases, the density of air decreases. This is because the air molecules become more energetic and spread out, leading to lower density. Conversely, as temperature decreases, air density increases due to the molecules losing energy and moving closer together.

Air density and air pressure are both properties of the atmosphere that are related to each other. As air density increases, air molecules are packed more closely together, which also leads to an increase in air pressure. Conversely, as air density decreases, air pressure decreases as well.
As altitude increases, air pressure and density decrease because there are fewer air molecules moving closer together due to gravity. This results in lower air pressure and overall density at higher altitudes. On the other hand, as temperature increases, air molecules expand and move further apart, causing a decrease in air pressure and density.
When altitude rises, the air pressure and density both decrease. When temperature rises that means that more air is pushing down on it. So this means that the air pressure and density rise when temperature rises.
