technically hot air does not really rise it is the cold air that sinks below it because it is more dense.

Why does a hot air balloon rise in cold air?

Hot air is less dense than cold air, so when the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes lighter and therefore rises. As the balloon rises, the surrounding colder air cools it down again, causing it to sink if the heat source is turned off.

How does hot air rise?

When hot and cold air meet the hot air rises to the top but which process causes the hot air to rise?

Hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air. As hot air heats up, its molecules become less tightly packed and therefore lighter than the surrounding cold air, causing it to rise. This process is known as convection.

Why does cold water and air tend to sink?

Cold water and air tend to sink because they are denser than warm water and air. As they cool down, the molecules become more tightly packed together, increasing their density and causing them to sink. This creates a convection current where colder, denser fluid or air sinks while warmer, lighter fluid or air rises.
