What is cold air more than warm air?

Cold air is more dense than warm air.


What is the precipitation at a cold front like?

A cold front brings in cold air. The cold air causes warm air to rise quickly. The rising air forms cumulus clouds. There is often heavy precipitation at a cold front.


How does air temperature affect precipitation?

Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. When the air has reached "saturation point" (ie. it cannot hold any more moisture), it is more likely to cause precipitation as the oversaturated air forms moisture droplets that fall as precipitation. One of the major causes of precipitation is when warm air cools rapidly (for example, when it rises after hitting a mountain front or other landmass). As the warm air cools, it loses its ability to retain moisture and becomes saturated, thus creating precipitation.


Why is Antarctica's cold climate responsible for its low yearly precipitation?

Antarctica's lack of humidity and precipitation is caused by the lack of moisture, not necessarily by cold. It is true, however, that cold air holds less moisture due to it having a lower saturation point than warm air.


What does cold air have more than hot air?

Cold air is more dense than hot air. This is because gas expands when it is heated.

Where do Precipitation and storms occur in?

Does precipitation and storms occur in high pressure sytems Precipitation and storms occur when cold air meets hot air. This can also happen when a cold front moves into a warmer area.
