It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
Scientists classify air masses according to their general characteristics and latitude. Artic air masses form at around 60 degrees latitude, Polar masses are at around 40 degrees latitude, warm tropical air masses are at 15 degrees latitude and very hot air masses form near the equator.
continental air masses

Unequal heating cause air masses to form fronts. Fronts are masses that contain air that is all the same temperature and at the same altitude.
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.

It separates hot air masses and cold air masses
The temperature and density of the air masses. the air masses moves when hot air and cold air gets together
There are two types of air masses: COLD AIR AND WARM AIR.Cold Air Masses-Cold air masses can cause thunderstorms and even tornadoes.Warm Air Masses-Warm air masses can bring many hours of steady rain and snow.
Arctic air masses come from the very far north usually way north of the arctic circle and can originate as far north as the north pole causing the coldest weather this is usually the coldest air mass with very little moisture arctic air masses exist anywhere from 75-90 degrease north this is why they are colder than a polar air mass . Polar air masses usually come from lower latitudes from around 65-73degress north this is there source of origin they cause cold winter temperatures with a lot of snow they are still cold air masses just not as bitingly cold as that of its further north component. Don't be fooled by the names even though it says polar its still coming from a further south origin compared to the arctic airmass. If i were the person who named these are masses i would say polar is colder than arctic but its just the way they label it.

Air masses get their characteristics from where they are made
Warm air masses are lighter than cold air masses because the molecules of cold air move slower than the warm air's molecules.
