The warmer the air is the more energy the molecules have. The more energy the molecules have the more they vibrate. When the molecules vibrate they bounce into each other and push apart from each other, hence the warmer air is; the less dense it is (number of molecules per unit volume). So, colder air has less energy which means more molecules can fit into one space (because they are not bouncing off each other).

Because warm air is less dense then cool air.
hot air is lighter than cold air so, it gose up
Cool air is denser than warm air, making it less likely to rise. It also cannot hold as much moisture as warm air.

When warm air rises it continues to rise until it starts to cool down. Once it starts to cool down it begins to sink allowing more warm air to replace it. This is called convection.
Hot air is lighter while cold air is heavier. This results in warm or hot air rising and cool or cold air falls.
It tends to rise because it is warm air
The cool air will sink and the warm air will rise.
The tendency for warm air to rise and cool air to sink results in convection currents. As warm air rises, it cools and then sinks back down in a continuous loop, creating circulation patterns in the atmosphere. This process helps distribute heat and moisture around the Earth.
Cool air is denser than warm air, making it less likely to rise. It also cannot hold as much moisture as warm air.
The result of warm air rising and cool air sinking is convection currents of air, causing wind. Even hurricanes are caused by this phenomenon.
yes the cool denser air sink while the warm less dense rises

The cold air pushes under the warm air.
