The sun warms the surface of the earth. This heat moves up into the atmosphere where it is absorbed by the greenhouse gases which warm up. This is how the air is warm.
The warmth of the air also depends on how far from the equator you are. For example if you live in Greenland the air is generally cooler, and if you live in Hawaii or Brazil the air is generally warmer.

Which is a calm area on Earths surface where warm air rises?
trade winds
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 is less dense warm air or cold air?
