Fire is not a material thing like air, water, soil, etc.

It is chemical reactions happening so fast and so violently that one can see the "upheaval", to put it that way.

Fire as such can thus not have mass or denseness or whatever -- only the material things that are transformed in the process have mass and denseness.

One can therefore not answer the question. It is like comparing a quagga with a quark.

Is hot air liter or heavier than cold air?

Hot air rises, so is lighter than cold air.


When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air.?

Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.


Why does it have to be hot air and not cold inside the envelope of a hot air balloon?

hot air rises; it is lighter than cool air It does not have to be Hot Air inside the balloon, unless you want that Balloon to rise up.Hot Air is less dense than Cold Air and hence the former is lighter.


Why is warm air lighter than cold air?

Warm air is lighter than cold air because cold air is denser, by dense I mean the particles in cold air are more packed together than it is in warm air. Therefore cold air is heavier which is why warm/hot air always floats above cold air (same thing with hot/warm and cold water). That is why warm/hot air is lighter than cold air.That's the reason why a hot air balloon only goes up when there's something producing hot air (like fire for example), and the only reason it goes back down is if you put out the fire. Remember this only happens because Hot water/air is less dense than cold air which makes it lighter.


How does heat affect flight?

Hot air is lighter than cold air. If you fill a balloon with hot air, the air inside will be lighter than the air outside and therefore the balloon will rise (until the air inside gets cold again).


Is hot air heavyer than colde air?

No, hot air is actually lighter than cold air. This is because the molecules in hot air move faster and spread out, resulting in lower density compared to cold air where the molecules are closer together and more tightly packed.


How does hot air balloon travel work?

In very simple terms, hot air is lighter than cold air, so it rises.


Why is the top of an oven hotter than the bottom?

Because - hot air is lighter than cold air - and thus it rises.


Is there a difference in weight between hot air and cold air?

Yes, there is a difference in weight between hot air and cold air. Hot air is lighter than cold air because the molecules in hot air are more energetic and spread out, decreasing the overall density of the air. This difference in weight is a factor in phenomena such as convection currents.


Is a hot air balloon lighter or heaver then air?

A hot air balloon is lighter than air because the air inside the balloon is heated, which causes it to become less dense than the surrounding air. This buoyant force allows the balloon to float in the air.


Why warm air rises and cool air sinks.?

hot air is lighter than cold air so, it gose up
