I don't know what you mean by "warm the density of the air" but if you mean heat up the air in general, I guess not if it is directly a few inches below the surface, because the earth's core doesn't warm it, and the sun can't warm it.

What happens to the density of the air as air on the surface of the earth warms?
The sun heats the surface of the Earth, and some of this heat goes into warming the air near the surface.
As the air on the surface of earth warms does its density increase or decrease?
As air gets warmer, it expands and becomes less dense.
How does uneven heating of earths surface results in convection currents?
Where the air is over a parts of the Earth's Surface that is warm, the air warms. Warm air rises and as it rises it is replaced by cooler air that is sucked in from parts of the Earth's surface which are comparatively cooler. This movement causes a cyclic circulation of the air called win and weather.
What causes warm air to rise?
When the sun warms the earth, the warmed earth emits infrared radiation. Some of this is captured by greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which then warms up. The more greenhouse gases there are, the warmer it gets. And that is how global warming works.
Is air denser at the earth's surface than in the atmosphere?
The atmosphere begins at the Earth's surface (or the ocean's), and extends upward. Generally air density decreases with altitude, although temperature differences can alter that somewhat.

As air gets warmer, it expands and becomes less dense.
How does air density change throughout the atmosphere?
Air density is higher near the surface of the Earth. As you climb away from the surface, the pressure decreases.
What causes the Sun's energy in Earth's atmosphere to produce winds?
When the act of the Earth's surface absorbing the sun's energy, it turns light into heat. The heat on the Earth's surface warms the air above it causing the air over the equator to get warmer than the surface air.
How does the atmosphere act like a system?
Sunlight comes in and warms the Earth's surface. It warms the gases in the air too, at least some of them with a How_is_earth's_atmosphere_similar_to_a_greenhousesize that gets excited by sunlight.
What is the main cause of earth winds?
Heat ! The sun warms the air, which rises... Cold air flows into the 'void' to fill it - it's the movement of the air that creates the wind.

What happen to the volume and density of an air mass when it cools or warms?
it changes

What is the earths water cycle?
The second way in which the sun influences earth's weather is through the water cycle. As the sun warms the Earth's surface, WATER EVAPORATES FROM THE OCEANS INTO THE AIR.
