Heat is caused by molecules vibrating and hitting one another. The hotter the air the more the molecules vibrate and the bigger space each molecule needs. This causes the air to expand and its density to fall.

As air cools, the vibrations slow down and the molecules need less room. This causes the air to contract and its density will go up.
