The molecules of a gaseous form slow down, thus shrinking in volume.
As you know, molecules/atoms are in constant motion, and with temperature fluctuations, they either slow down, and compress, or they increase in speed and expand.
Ever notice that tires seem a bit flat in the winter?
Or bridges have little gaps to allow room to expand in summer months, as well as for when they "shrink" in cooler temperatures the overall structure is not corrupted.

What would happen to the pressure if you cooled down the container?
The pressure inside the container would decrease.
What is an offshore breeze?
Wind is caused by differences in air pressure. An offshore breeze is the result of high pressure over land, and low pressure over the water. The high pressure air moves toward the lower pressure air. Or...if you just had this question on a test in the Ebus workbook, then the correct answer is B) Land mass has cooled down.
If a tin is filled with hot water and sealed then covered with cold water What causes the tin to become dented?
The outside air pressure dents the tin. The water or air inside a sealed metal container will contract when cooled from the outside (by conduction through the can). When it was sealed, the pressure on the inside was the same as on the outside. But the contraction reduces the pressure on the inside, causing the external air pressure to squeeze the can, and possibly cave it in. This is widely demonstrated in another experiment using dry ice. A sealed gasoline can of about a gallon (4 liters) is placed on a dry-ice bed and cooled until the outside air pressure crushes the can.
Why do tin cans get crushed if cooled after heated and closing is mouth?
Assuming the can can be sealed. When the can is heated the air inside it expands. If the can is then sealed and allowed to cool the air inside contracts which causes the pressure inside to drop. Because the outside air pressure is now greater it crushes the can.
What happen to air particles as they heat up and cool down?
Depends on the container of the "air particles" and what you mean by "what happens." If it is inside a container that can not expand, then the pressure increases. If it is inside a container that can expand (or is just atmospheric air) then the volume increases. (Pressure * Volume = n * R * change in temperature) On the atomic level, the atoms or molecules (depending on the gas) begin to move more quickly as their kinetic energy increases.
What happens when air pressure is cooled?
When the air is cooled it mostly rains
What happens to air pressure when air is cooled?
When air is cooled the molecules move more slowly and they take up less room. The amount of space the air takes up shrinks which reduces the air pressure.
What would happen to the pressure if you cooled down the container?
The pressure inside the container would decrease.
What might happen to a hot air balloon if the air inside is cooled down?
Only hot air rises, so if the hot air was cooled..... it would fall. Splat.
What is the cause a dirty air cooled condenser?
Excessive head pressure.
What happen air as it is cooled?
It loses moisture if cooled below its dew point. It becomes more dense, and that causes it to move toward areas where the air is less dense.
What will happen when nitrogen is cooled?
It will become liquid at approx 77 K at atmospheric pressure.
What would happen to the air pressure when the air is sucked out?
The air pressure would reduce.
What happen with the air in a soccer ball with a cooled and heated?
The air pressure goes down when cooled, goes up when heated. A soccer ball left outdoors in freezing weather does not have much bounce. Left outside on a hot day, has a lot of bounce.
What happens to volume when air temperature increases?
If pressure remains constant, then volume is directly proportional to temperature. Hot air is quite loud.
Why does temperature affect the air pressure?
Air temperature and air pressure are inversely proportional. As temperature increases, air pressure decreases. This is best demonstrated in an enclosed vessel.
When does air pressure happen?
by wind
