As with all elements at low enough temperatures they become solid. This is because as something cools it loses kinetic energy causing it to slow down, so at the atomic level the atoms are slowing down. Because their kinetic energy is lower they don't move around as much. When the atoms dont move around as much they can be closer together, and so end up as a solid at a cool enough temperature.

Because a noble gas has no tendency to form chemical bonds, atoms of a noble gas have relatively little attraction for other atoms of noble gas (or atoms of any other element). There is still a minor attraction in the form of Van der Waal's force, but no chemical bonds. And atoms which have little attraction for each other can easily move independently of each other, which results in a gas. In order to form a liquid, they have to stick together to some degree (not as great a degree as would be needed to solidify).

Are gases more soluble at high or low temperatures?
low temperatures
Are at low temperatures ideal gases liquefy?
Ideal gases will not liquify at low temperatures because they have no intermolecular forces.
Are noble gases high or low reactivity?
low reaction
Do noble gases have low densities?
Yes. they do
Does noble gases react high or low?
Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals and are hence stable or chemically inert.
Why noble gases can be liquified easily?
Noble gsase are liquefied at very low temperatures, with many difficulties and expenses.
What affects how much gas and will dissolve in a liquid?
Gases are dissolved in liquids better at low temperatures.
Are gases more soluble at high or low temperatures?
low temperatures
Are at low temperatures ideal gases liquefy?
Ideal gases will not liquify at low temperatures because they have no intermolecular forces.
How do gases condense?
Gases are condensed at low temperatures.
How do you remove some of the gases in air?
It depends on what gases you are talking about and how much air. But generally you could submit the given air to extremly low temperatures which would cause these "gases" to turn to a liquid.
Are noble gases high or low reactivity?
low reaction
Do noble gases have low densities?
Yes. they do
Does noble gases react high or low?
Noble gases have completely filled valence orbitals and are hence stable or chemically inert.
Are noble gases known for forming salts?
The number of compounds of noble gases is very low; salts derived from xenon are known.
Can a noble gas be malleable or ductile?
Noble gases exist at mind-bogglingly low temperatures. To prove something's malleable, you have to hammer it or something. If you could obtain a solid noble gas, one whack of a hammer would be enough to literally vaporize all hopes of proving it was malleable. How many licks does it take? The world may never know.
What are noble gases relative activity?
Very low activity.
