It depends on the situation. In a contained vessel (eg a tyre), then hot air would exert a higher pressure.

In general outside the pressure is (fairly) constant, and it is the density which changes with temperature. Imagine if this weren't true; you could have two pockets of air next to each other at different temperatures, and thus also at different pressures. In reality this leads to the pressure region expanding (and so decreasing in pressure), squashing the lower pressure region (increasing its pressure). This would continue until the pressures were the same in both regions.

Cold air exerts more blank than warm air?

air molecules in cold air exert more pressure because they are closer together and collide more often


Does warm air have more pressure than cold air?

Yes, warm air has less pressure than cold air. This is because the molecules in warm air have more energy and move faster, causing them to spread out more and exert less pressure compared to the denser, slower-moving molecules in cold air.


What type of pressure does cold air have?

Cold air has lower pressure compared to warm air because the molecules in cold air are more tightly packed together, resulting in lower kinetic energy and less force exerted on the surroundings. This lower pressure creates high pressure systems, which tend to bring fair weather and gentle winds.


Do cold air masses have higher or lower air pressure than warm masses?

Yes. Cold air masses have higher density, because the molecules are closer together. That makes them have higher pressure because there is more mass per unit volume pressing down.The molecules are closer together because they are colder, and, with less energy, which is the same as temperature, they vibrate less, so that causes them to move closer together.


What kind of density do warm air and cold air masses have?

Warm air masses are less dense than cold air masses because warm air molecules have more energy and are more spread out, leading to lower pressure. Cold air masses are denser because cold air molecules are closer together and have less energy, resulting in higher pressure.

What pressure does cold air exert?

Cold air exerts a low pressure. That is why cold air falls and hotter air rises above it.

Can warm air pressure weigh more than cold air pressure?

No, warm air and cold air exert different pressures due to their different densities, but the weight of a volume of air is determined by its mass. Therefore, a mass of warm air does not weigh more than a mass of cold air, assuming the volumes are the same.


What temperature of air is heavier and has more pressure?

Colder air is typically heavier and denser than warmer air, leading to higher air pressure at the surface. This is because cold air molecules are closer together and exert more force per unit area, creating higher pressure.


Why does water exert more pressure than air?

Water is more dense than air is.


What kind of pressure is cold air?

Cold air typically has lower pressure compared to warm air. As air cools, it becomes denser and contracts, leading to a decrease in pressure. This is because the molecules in cold air have less kinetic energy and therefore exert less force on their surroundings.


Does Cold Air Exerts More Pressure Than Warm Air?

In warm air, molecules are spaced farther apart. As air cools, molecular activity and movement slows down which cause compaction of the molecules. The increased density of air in the same space automatically increases the overall weight. That is why warmer air layers over cold air because the cold air is 'heavier' and sinks to the ground while the 'lighter', warm air rises.


Why do fluid create pressure?

Fluids have a higher density than air and therefore exert more pressure than air.


Does cold air have high or low pressure?

Cold air has a high pressure because it is heavier than warm air.


Does warm air exert more pressure?

UH.I dont know u tell me hahahahahah!!


How do cold temperature affect air pressure?

Cold temperature can decrease air pressure because cold air is denser than warm air, causing the air molecules to be packed more closely together. As a result, the air pressure decreases as the density of the air increases.
