Yes. Hot air is less dense, and therefore lighter than cold air, so it will rise as cold air will drop.
A perfect example of this, is smoking rising to the ceiling in a fire, or smoke rising out of your chimney.

In the atmosphere a hot air layer is found above a cold air layer How is the separation achieved and why does hot air always tend to rise?
It is because a hot air is a light matter while a cold air is a heavy matter of gas. Like, the difference of low(hot) pressure and high(cold) pressure area.
What is the difference between an updraft and a downdraft?
Updrafts are systems of hot air, which rise. Birds and expert hot-air ballooners use them. Downdrafts are systems of cold air that tend to fall and bring things flying in it with them.
How do you prove that hot air rises?
Hot air is less dense (lighter) than colder air, so warmer air will naturally rise above the cooler air.
What should a hot air balloonist do to go higher?
They can drop weight over the side, increase the hot air volume, or both. A hot air balloon will rise when its buoyancy exceeds its weight. So the balloonist can increase the buoyancy by increasing the amount of hot air contained in the balloon. Or they can simply reduce the weight of the balloon, including the gondola, its contents, and contained hot air.
Why would it be incorrect to say that heat rises?
It doesn't actually rise, so much as it does float on top of cold air. Think of it this way: If someone was floating in a pool, and we poured more water in the pool, did that person rise? They didn't actually do anything other than float there. Heat is the same way. It's not actively moving when it "rises".
Does heat rise or hot air rise?
Heat is the energy of the hot air. Therefore hot air rises
When does a air balloon rise?
A hot air balloon rises because when hot air is added it is intended to rise and when the hot air balloons wants to land, hot air is decreased.
Why does heating the air in hot air balloon make it rise?
Hot air is lighter than cold air, so cold air sinks and hot air rises; that makes the hot air balloon rise (if the air around the hot air balloon is heated as well, it won't rise, or sink if in the air).
Does hot air rise or fall?
Hot air rises
Why do you think hot-air balloons can rise into the air?
Hot-air balloons can rise up into the air because hot air is lighter, allowing it to float up into the sky.
Why do hot air balloons rise with hot air?
Hot air is less dense than cooler air, therefore the balloon will rise (float) on the cooler air around it.
Will a balloon rise higher with hot air or cold air?
Hot air
How is a hot balloon lifted into the air?
to make a hot air balloon rise you use hot air
Why would heating the gas in balloon make the balloon rise?
if you mean how the hot air in a hot air balloon makes it rise, its because hot air is less dense than cold air. when cold and hot air meet the cold air sinks thus making hot air left to rise.so when you put hot air in a balloon the air would rise. hope this helps.

Why are hot air balloons able to rise into the air?
The hot air from the burner rises since it has little density, and then is caught in the balloon, which causes it to rise.
