The upper respiratory system cleans and warms the air even before going into the lungs. Tiny hairs in the upper tract remove particles which have become stuck in mucous made by the membranes. These same membranes warm and add moisture to the air before it reaches the alveoli.

Why does it feel warm when you breathe out but cold when you breathe in?

Because your body warms the air as you breathe in - the air retains heat as you exhale.


Why is the air you breathe out hotter than the air you breathe in?

When you breathe in, the air is at room temperature, typically around 70°F. As you breathe in, your body warms the air to body temperature (around 98.6°F) inside your lungs. When you exhale, the air leaving your lungs is warmer due to this heating process.


How does conduction differ convection?

Conduction warms the atmosphere as fast-moving molecules come into contact with lower-energy molecules until all molecules are moving at about the same rate. As the atmosphere warms, molecules move apart. As the heated air flows, heat is transferred by convection from warm, low-pressure air to cooler, high-pressure air.

Why is the air we breathe out warmer than the air we breathe in?
