Heated particles are not actually lighter. What happens is that heated particles require more area. This increase in area is observed as an increase in volume. This reduces the number of particle in a given space. This means that the heated air is less dense. Due to buoyancy, things that are less dense "float" on top of denser things. This is why a hot air balloon rises.

When heated, gases typically expand and become less dense. So, a gas would be least dense when heated.


Do you get lighter or heavier when you fart?

You do not become lighter or heavier when you fart. Farting releases gas that was already inside your body, so there is no change in mass.

When water that has been heated to a gas?

When water is heated to a gas, it transforms into water vapor. This process is called evaporation, where water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid's surface and become a gas.


What name is used for the main type of thermal energy transfer that happens when a gas is heated?

The main type of thermal energy transfer that happens when a gas is heated is convection. In convection, the heated gas molecules become less dense and rise, while cooler gas molecules sink, creating a circular motion that transfers heat throughout the gas.
