Warm water is lighter than cold water because the molecules are more active in warmer water and evaporation is taking place more quickly than in cold water.

Is hot water less dense than cold water?

Yes, because the higher the temperature, the faster and more spread out the molecules, therefore making hot water less dense than cold water.

Yes. It is more dense and colder -- the most dense and most cold of any ocean water on Earth.


What is more dense cold or warm ocean water?

As water gets colder it eventually becomes ice. So judging by that, as water gets colder the water gets denser to the point of being a solid. Cold water is more dence than warm water. Ice is less dense than water (which is why it floats) so... but I think the above is still correct.

Why does cold water in a tube sink to the bottom of room temperature water?

Cold water is dense and cold water sinks, just like air, cold air falls and hot air rises.


Is warm or cold water denser?

its according to what other temperature of water you are comparing it to. water is densest at 4 degrees C so water that is colder then 4 degrees C is technically less dense then water at 4C. in that case the warmer water is denser. but if you mean warm water to be >4C and cold water to be colder then warm water, but not below 4C, then cold water is more dense then warm water. but the question you are probably trying to get answered would have an answer of cold is denser
