Cold air is more
dense than hot air so itsinks and warm air is less dense so it rises.
Not exact matches
Hot air is less
dense than cold
air, and the
hotter the temperature, the more speed a plane needs to lift off.
Light travels faster in the
hot, thin
air close to the road
than it does in the cold,
dense air above, and that difference in speed is what causes it to shift direction as it crosses the boundary between the two.
Once again, instead of a sticky drag strip in cool,
dense early - morning
air — which is hardly representative of real - world conditions — we chose a less -
than - perfect surface in the middle of a
hot day.
Keeps
hot air out of intake system and delivers
denser air at colder temps
than factory
air intakes
The
air around being colder therefore
denser and heavier, with more condensed volume, will sink; gravity having less of a grip on the
hotter less
dense rising expanding lighter volume with less mass
than it does on the
denser colder heavier with more mass.
The
air particles speed up, in other words their temperature increases, the
hotter air is less
dense than colder
air above and hence moves up (convection).
