The density of air varies with temperature, so for a given pressure and volume cold air will weigh more. With more weight comes more oxygen(and more of everything else too), all other things being equal.

Hot air takes up more space because when heated because it expands. Molecules move more when warmed up. Hot air takes up more space because when heated because it expands. Molecules move more when warmed up.

i don't think it does. here's an experiment i did for my Climatology project:

take a glass bottle and put a balloon (with no holes) over the top. put it in the freezer for five minutes (or the freezer for 1 or 2, if u want it to go faster, just don't let it completely freeze; you're just trying to get the air inside it cold). take the bottle out and if the room that you put the balloon in was warm, the balloon will have kind of sucked in, because the air contracted. now, get your faucet as hot as it'll go and get it running, run it over the bottle for a minute or two and then you'll get results! the balloon on the bottle will start to inflate because the air expands!

so i don't think cold air takes up more space than warm, but i do know that ice takes up more space than water...

Take a balloon. Inside you have a fixed amount of air. Now, when that air is heated, the molecules inside it start moving very fast and push against their container. This makes the balloon spread. In essence, hot air uses more space.

Cold air molecules move less then hot air molecules if that is what you want to know.

Hot air because it spreads out as it becomes less dense. This makes more pressure than cold air does.

How can you prove air is matter?

The classical definition says anything that occupies space is matter. To prove air occupies space we can do a small experiment. Take a balloon and blow air in it. The balloon expands and this proves that air occupies space. And thus we can prove air is matter.


How does air occupies space?

air,like all matter occupie space


Does air have matter?

Air is a matter because it occupies space.


Does cold air or warm air have more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space?

cold air


Does all matters fills space?

Not all occupies space, because air does not take space.


Cold air has more molecules occupying a cubic centimeter of space then warm air therefore it has a what pressure?

Cold air has more molecules occupying space than warm air, therefore it has high pressure.


What property of gas does air exhibit?

The property of air that a gas exhibits is that it can be compressed and it occupies space.


What does air occupy?

Air is matter or not?

air is matter because the definition of matter is "any thing that occupies some space and mass ".air occupies some space and mass. it occupies container volume. air occupies the space and air also have some mass so it is matter


What happens to air as it cools?

As air cools, the space it occupies becomes less. This results in an increase in density.


What happens when the air cools?

as air cools, the space it occupies becomes less. this result in an increas density
