Warm air holds more moisture, it is less dense so
lighter than cold air.
If everything else is equal, hot air is
lighter than cold air.
Not exact matches
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.
As
cold sweetwater can be
lighter than not so
cold saltwater, the
colder sweetwater spreads on the surface and brings a cooling of the
air over those large areas.
The
air at the top of the troposphere is
colder than the
air at the ground because of a. water vapor b. expansion of gas c.
light energy d. ozone
The declining density gradient with height (caused by gravity) permits
lighter, warmer
air to rise further away from the surface
than can
colder, heavier
air at the same upward pressure gradient force.
Carbon dioxide is fully part of that water cycle where water heated by the thermal infrared direct from the Sun evaporates and anyway
lighter than air rises in
air and takes away heat from the surface — all pure clean rain is carbonic acid, the water vapour spontaneously joining with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere releases its heat in the
colder heights and condenses out back into liquid water and ice, cooling the Earth from the 67 °C it would be without the water cycle.
Firstly convection of the real gas

air on the move.
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.
A volume of
air heated will become less dense expanding in volume and rise because
lighter than the
air around it which is
colder.
They use the energy in expansion which makes them
lighter, they don't move anywhere unless the amount of heat energy is sufficient to make them
lighter than air in which case they will rise through the fluid gas around them, and, the molecules around them which are
colder therefore heavier will sink below them.
, when volumes of
air are heated they expand and now
lighter than air rise taking away heat from the surface, and
colder volumes of
air, of the fluid gas
air around them, being heavier because
colder so more condensed will sink to the surface flowing beneath the volumes of less dense
air.
So, deal gas with no actual volume has nothing to expand and condense which which is how we get convection as heated real gases mainly nitrogen and oxygen and water expand becoming
lighter than air and so rise which spontaneously makes
colder heavier real gases sink — in the fluid medium they comprise.
Ideal gas which has no mass therefore no weight under gravity because there is nothing on which gravity can pull; which has no volume therefore does not expand or condense changing its weight under reduced and increased pressure or heat and
cold and so does not become
lighter or heavier
than air under gravity; with no attraction therefore merely capable of bouncing off another and not capable of undergoing chemical changes, such as water and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere forming carbonic acid.
