In the human respiratory system, air goes through the mouth/oral cavity, down the throat/pharynx, glottis, trachea, one of the two bronchi that leads into a lung, further divides into bronchioles, and at last ends in the alveoli. Here, air stops in the lungs, loses oxygen to capillaries, gains carbon dioxide, and returns to the atmosphere via the same path.

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.
