The cooler the temperature, the slower the particles move and the closer together they are because they don't need as much room. That accounts for how cooler air is thicker.

What happens when you heat and cool air?

When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.


What happens when you cool air?

The air particles would get denser and the air would sink. If you cool it enough the water vapor in the air might freeze.


When cool air cools what happens?

It gets colder. And the energy increases so the particles move further apart.


Why does cool air have greater air pressure than cool air?

Cool air has more pressure because it's particles are condenced and warm air has less air pressure because the particles in it are more spread out.


When the air cools the air pressure?

particles of cool air are sloser together than particles of warm air


Does cool air rise?

Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).


What happens to water particles when they cool off?

What happens to the particles when liquids cool?

When liquids cool, the particles tend to tighten up, or get really close together, and slow down.


Why does cool air rises?

Warm air is less dense than cool air, so it rises upward. As it does so, the fast moving, compressed particles in the air begin to slow down and expand, causing them to cool (since fast-moving particles create heat, and slower-moving particles are colder).


What happens to the particles in water that is hot then you let it cool?

The movement of particles is first accelerated and then decelerated.


What do you think happens when some air heats up and other air is cool?

What happens to the particles in a hot drink when it cool down?

they slow down.
