Hot air is lighter while cold air is heavier. This results in warm or hot air rising and cool or cold air falls.

What has more volume hot or cold water?

I hate questions like this one. Do you know why? Because I fear that the TEACHERS asking the question of their students are either IGNORANT of the subject matter they are supposed to be teaching or are asking a TRICK question of their students, which is almost always intellectually dishonest. Hopefully, it's just a poorly worded question by the poster of the question. Okay, I'll shut up and answer the question. A quantity of cold air can occupy a greater volume of hot air -- if there is more cold air than hot air!!!! If you've got two liters of cold air, that's a greater volume than one liter of hot air!!!!!! But what if you've got 0.1 kilogram of hot air and 0.1 kilogram of cold air? You've got the same amount of matter, right? They have the same mass: 0.1 kg. Will the hot and cold air occupy the same volume? NO!!! The hot air is less dense, which means it occupies MORE volume per unit mass than the cold air. So, if you have equal masses of hot and cold air, the hot air will have greater volume.

If hot air rises does that mean that cold air goes down?

Cold air is more dense than warm air, and we know that more dense things sink and less dense things float. It does not matter how the co2 got hot it loses it heat to what ever is around it. Heat goes up and the hotter it gets the fast the heat rises and that is why global warming is a lie.
