Warm air masses are lighter than cold air masses because the molecules of cold air move slower than the warm air's molecules.

What kind of density do warm air and cold air masses have?
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
What happens in cold and warm air masses?
what happens in cold and warm masses pressure
What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
When cold air masses push against warm air masses what is formed?
A cold front.
Are cold air masses denser than warm air masses?
Yes, cold air masses are denser than warm air masses. The reason for this is because heat excites atoms so they take up more volume in space. Meaning they take up more volume of heat which leaves little warmth left and a lot of cold left. The warmth is thinner and vice versa, the cold is denser.
Are cold air masses lighter the warm air masses or the same?
cold fronts are heavier than warm fronts

What kind of density do warm air mass and cold air masses have?
Cold air is more dense than warm air. This is why cold air masses tend to descend, and warm air masses tend to rise.
Is cold air lighter than warm air?
no
Why do warm air masses rise and cold air masses sink?
Density. You can figure out the details using the ideal gas law.
Does most cold air masses have higher air pressure than most warm air masses?
true
What happens in cold and warm air masses?
what happens in cold and warm masses pressure
What is less dense warm air or cold air?
Warm air is less dense (lighter) than cold air..that is why warm air rises and cold air settles
What happens when warm air masses meet cold air masses?
A warm front forms.
Why doesn't a warm air mass under a cold air mass at a warm front?
Warm air is lighter than cold air, that means that warm air will rise and the cold air will sink.
When cold air masses push against warm air masses what is formed?
A cold front.
