Heat can travel in air by convection, but radiation (electromechanical wave motion) is the most efficient way to transfer heat (energy) through air.

When you are measuring the temperature of something, you are measuring the movement of its particles. The hotter it is, the faster the particles move, the colder the temperature, the slower the particles move.
As the heat (or cold) reaches certain thresholds, the matter changes states: Solids to liquids, liquids to gases, gases to plasmas.

Do air molecules move fast in hot weather or slow?
Air molecules move faster in hot weather and slower in cold weather.
In what direction do hot and cold gases move?
Up, hot air rises.
What happens to the atoms in a solid if you heat it?
The atom will start to move faster and when it gets to hot the atom will tunen into air.
What is the direction control of an hot air balloon?
The pilot of a hot air balloon uses the burners to move in different directions. Some of the air is moving east, while some of the air is moving west. The pilot of the balloon will either deflate or inflate the balloon to catch the wind in a particular direction.
How hot air baloons are able to float?
hot air baloons are able to fly because the hot air that is released in to the ballon wants to get out so there for it keeps pushing and that is how a hot air balloon floats
How can you move hot air balloon?
They move with the wind
How can a hot air balloon move towards the wind?
hot air rises up
Do air molecules move fast in hot weather or slow?
Air molecules move faster in hot weather and slower in cold weather.
Does dense air move from hot air to cool air?
No. Dense air is cool air.
Does hot air move into cold air or does cold air move into hot air?
Both. Since hot air is less dense than cold air, the hot air rises as the cold air falls (i.e. as the cold air displaces the hot air). If you were to dye hot air & then inject it into the center of a room, you would observe the dyed hot air rising. What you may not realize is that gravity draws the (invisible) surrounding dense cold air downwards as it displaces the (visible) less dense dyed hot air. === Previous Posters Answer: Hot air rises
How do you think molecules move in hot and in cold air?
In hot areas the molecules move quickly and in cold areas the molecules move slower.
How do you think the molecules move in hot and cold air?
In hot areas the molecules move quickly and in cold areas the molecules move slower.
When do air particles move quickly?
when its hot outside
What are the reason for air to rise?
hot air rises because molecules of air move quicker
In which general direction is the hot and dry air mass most likely to move?
the hot and dry air mass are most likely to rise
How does heat cause air to move?
Heat causes air to move because the temp. is so hot the chemicals just move or go away.
In what direction do hot and cold gases move?
Up, hot air rises.
