Hot air is less dense (lighter) than colder air, so warmer air will naturally rise above the cooler air.

Why does hot air float while cold air rises?
density
Hot air rises because of a change in its?
temperature
Where does the heat go from a cup of hot cocoa sitting on the table?
Hot air rises.
Why can you feel a match burn when you put your hand above but when it's underneath you can't?
Hot air rises.
What happen when air gets heated?
As air (unconfined), is heated its volume increases, and its density decreases. That makes it lighter (per volume) than it was. Warm air will rise above colder air, and in essence, float on top of the colder air.
What does hot air do?
hot air rises.
If hot air rises why is it cooler in the mountains?
Temperature decreases with altitude due to the adiabatic lapse rate, where the atmosphere cools as it expands with elevation. This principle applies in mountains where the air rises, expands, and cools, resulting in lower temperatures at higher altitudes.
What makes hot air balloon rise?
Hot air rises. As the air in the hot air balloon is made hotter than the surrounding air it rises.
How do hot air balloons stay in air?
hot air rises
Does hot air rise or fall?
Hot air rises
What is air that rises?
hot
How does hot air travel out of a hot cup of hot chocolate?
hot air rises
Why do you use hot air for hot air balloon instead of cool air?
Hot air rises.
How does the air density inside a balloon change as it rises from the ground to the air?
As a balloon rises from the ground to the air, the air density inside the balloon decreases. This is because air density decreases with altitude due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure. The air inside the balloon expands as it rises, causing it to become less dense.
When hot and cold air meet the hot air rises to the top but which process causes the hot air to rise?
hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air..this occurs by the process of convection
Hot air rises cold air sink?
technically hot air does not really rise it is the cold air that sinks below it because it is more dense.
What does air do to help your heart?
Hot air rises. That is how a hot air balloon works.
