it isn't correct to say it rises or falls. A better way to ask the question is: "Why do hot things (like hot air) rise above cold things (like cold air)?"
To answer this question, it is important to understand what heat is.
Heat is energy. When we say something is hot, we really are saying it has a lot of stored
energy.What does this energy do?
Matter is made up of incredibly small pieces called atoms and molecules. Atoms and molecules are always moving.
The more energy these atoms and molecules have, the faster they move. The faster they mover, the more space they take up.
If something is hot, it weighs the same as if it were cold, but it just takes up more space.
This leads us to the concept of density. Because hat air takes up more space than cold air, hot air has a smaller density. Less dense hot air will "float" above the more dense cold air.

What happens to dew when the sun rises?
When the sun rises, the warmth and light cause the dew to evaporate. As the temperature rises, the water droplets in the dew transform into water vapor and are released into the air.
What four things does the sun give us?
The sun gives us light, it makes our plants grow, it gives us warmth and it gives us energy.
What two vital things does the sun give us?
The sun provides warmth by radiating heat energy, which is essential for life on Earth. Additionally, the sun emits light energy, which is crucial for photosynthesis in plants, the primary source of energy for all living organisms.
Does sun give off more heat in the summer?
No, the sun does not give off more heat in the summer. It only seems hotter because the axis of the Earth, that you are on, is now pointed closer to the sun, where as in winter you are actually farther from the sun, since the axis is pointed in the other direction, and therefore you do not experience the same warmth as in summer.
What reactions course the sun to give us light and heat?
The primary reaction in the sun that produces light and heat is nuclear fusion. In this process, hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the form of light and heat. This continuous fusion reaction is what powers the sun and gives us light and warmth.
Why dew disappears when sun rises?
As the sun rises, its warmth causes the dew droplets on surfaces to evaporate into the air as water vapor. This process is called evaporation, and it occurs because the heat from the sun increases the energy of the water molecules, enabling them to escape into the atmosphere.
How does the sun give off heat?
The warmth you feel come from the Infrared rays.

What is source of warmth?
God created the sun to give us all warmth.
When you feel the warmth of the Sun on your face what type of heat transfer are you experiencingng?
You are experiencing heat transfer through radiation when you feel the warmth of the Sun on your face. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves.
What four things does the sun give us?
The sun gives us light, it makes our plants grow, it gives us warmth and it gives us energy.
What is the difference between direct sunlight and warmth?
Direct sunlight refers to the light emitted by the sun, while warmth refers to the heat generated by the sun's rays. Direct sunlight provides both light and warmth, but warmth specifically refers to the sensation of heat on the skin or other surfaces.
How do we know that heat can travel through space?
We can feel the warmth of the sun!
Does asteroid produce heat?
asteroids dont produce heat thay get some warmth off the sun
What happens to the sun's heat in the greenhouse effect?
The sun's heat (ultraviolet radiation) warms the surface of the earth.Heat rises (infrared radiation) rises from the warm earth.Much of this heat is captured by greenhouse gases which become warm.This warmth makes the surrounding atmosphere warm.It also warms the surface of the earth even further.
Explain why the sun is important to the sun?
The sun is important to the sun in many ways. First of all, the sun gives off warmth. Some of this warmth will go towards earth, causing the earth to heat up. The heat waves that do not go through the earth's atmosphere will bounce back and hit the sun. This helps give the sun warmth to itself, so it can continue to create more and more heat for the earth. Secondly, if the sun did not exist, then how could the sun see anything? The sun obviously needs light in order to see the earth, so it knows where to aim its heat waves at. If the sun could not see the earth, it would most likely spew its heat waves all across the galaxy, hitting other solar systems, causing them to burn to a crisp. Lastly, the sun needs a companion. Someone to give it encouragement when times are tough. Occasionally, the sun gets sick of creating heat, and simply wants to give up on what it was created for; heat, and warmth, and the major light source during the day, and reflecting its light off the moon's surface to give us our major light source during the night. In these terrible times or hardship, the sun is in dire need for someone or something to encourage it. Luckily, the sun has the sun to help it get through these tough times. We are very fortunate that the sun has something that gives it encouragement. It is possible that the sun may stop working, if it doesn't have something to encourage it every now and again.
