The common cold is caused by a rhinovirus, and it is spread through aerosolized droplets (the air) via coughing and sneezing. It is also a rather hardy little virus that can be passed on inanimate fomites (hard objects like door handles and elevator buttons). This is why you should cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and why you should wash your hands regularly.

Because the molecules in the hot air are more spread out, allowing water to easily form within the gaps of the molecules. Cold air is more dense and does not allow water to form easily between the molecules.

cold air because when the temperature drops hot air rises and cold air comes to ground level,cold water and hot water have the same density.
Is Warm air heavier or cold air?
cold air is heavier than the warm air warm air has low water so it is hot and low heavy but cold air has a lot of water so it cold and heavy

What is happening when water droplets appear on the outside of a cold glass of water?
The air has moisture (water dissolved in the air). The amount of air that can be carried in the air depends on the temperature. Warmer air can hold more water in it than cold air. When the cold glass is exposed to the air, the air touching the glass gets cold, is no longer able to hold as much water and the water in the air condenses (comes out of solution) on to the outside of the glass.
