The individual air molecules' kinetic energy increases, thus, increasing the amount of collisions between the molecules. It expands, so it becomes less dense than the surrounding air and therefore it rises (floats) upwards.

How does the balloon get heated up?

A balloon gets heated up by the sun or another external heat source that warms the air inside the balloon. The heated air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.


What happens to the air when heated up?

When air is heated up, the molecules within the air gain energy and move faster, causing the air to expand and become less dense. This expansion leads to a decrease in air pressure and an increase in volume.

Where is the air on the earth that's heated up the most?

The air near the equator is typically heated up the most on Earth due to direct sunlight and low angle of incidence. This creates warmer air which rises, leading to low pressure and the formation of tropical climates and weather patterns.


What would cause your air fileter to burn?

The air filter collects dust in the course of filtering the air. As it gets heated up due to the engine heat or the heat in the engine area or under the hood the dust in the air filter also gets heated up and develops into fire. Most of the air filters are made of combustible material.


How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?

Both air and water currents that form due to heating are driven by a combination of density differences and convection. As the air or water is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, causing a flow of cooler, denser fluid to move in to replace it. This sets up a continual circulation pattern as the fluid cools, sinks, gets reheated, and rises again.
