Because the molecules in cold air are more tightly packed together than warm air.

∙ 12y agoYes. Colder air is more dense. In warmer air, the molecules have more energy and move around more.

∙ 14y agoAir at the equator tends to be warmer, meaning less dense.

∙ 6y agoHow far north or south does not affect air pressure. It is how high above sea level. Some areas at the equator are at sea level, and so is the North pole.

What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
Why is cool and dry air often called a high?
It is called a "high pressure region". Air that is cool, is dense. Air that has less moisture is more dense than air with more moisture.
When air loses its heat does it become less dense and sink?
When air loses its heat it actually becomes more dense and sinks which starts a convection current
Cold air is than warm air?
Cold air is more dense and less buoyant than warm air.
Bubbles rise in water because they a. are so tiny b. less dense than water c. more dense than water d. fluids?
less dense than the liquid they are in. Water is more dense than air, therefore water is below air. This explains why the oceans aren't in the sky.
Air is warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator because the equator receives more?
Air pressure
What makes less dense air come from the equator?
Air becomes more or less dense relative to its temperature. Cold air is denser than warm. Since the equatorial region is tropical, the air will be warmer and less dense.
Why is the air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
the air is warmer because the sun's rays hit the equater more directly and because it is warmer it becomes more dense
If the volume of air is less then the less dense or more dense the air is?
its has more pressure
Is ammonia more dense or less dense than air?
Yes ammonia is less dense than air
Is cool air less dense?
No it is more dense than hot air
What will less dense air do in a relation to more dense air?
if two fluids of different density meet the less dense one will rise over the more dense one.
Statement correctly describes how the density and temperature of air are related?
Lower temperature air is more dense.
Is higher air less or more dense?
less
Why is air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
Because of the Earths shape and the way the Earth is tilting towards the sun.
Is dry ice more or less dense than air?
It is more dense.
Why is air more buoyant than water?
Air is more buoyant than water because air is less dense than water, and everything the thing that is less dense is always more buoyant than what is more dense than it.
