<span>Air has mass and density. Yes, cold air is heavier than warm air. Cold air sinks because it is denser compared to warm air.  On the other hand, warm air rises because it is lighter.   </span> When the air is hot or warm, its molecules are much further when it’s cold, its molecules are slightly packed closer which is why it moves slower. <span>
The best association to this is the hot air balloon.  Hot air balloons fly because they are filled with hot air. Hot air is lighter than the cold air outside because when it is heated up, it expands making it lighter.</span>

If you have equal volumes of cold air and warm air ... two quart jars,
two gallon jugs, or two 1-cubic-foot balloons full of each ... then the
sample of cold air is more dense and therefore heavier than the
equal-size sample of warm air.

Robert Hook discovered cells when viewing a _____ under a microscope.
sp2606 [1]
<span>What you need to do while answering this questions, is ask yourself what has cells - only if a thing has cells can you see those cells under a microscope. Objects of animal and plant origin have cells, so blood, plant and cork (made of tree bark) can have cells, and a box too, if it's made of wood. So we can''t exclude any answers based on this. We must then know the story of Robert Hook - and it was in fact a cork. He did this discovery around 1655. At the time his main interest was the microscope rather than the cork, and he used to cork to demonstrate the function of the microscope. The correct answer is CORK.</span>
