Yes. You would have known that by now: hot air balloons rise due to the warm air being less dense. The molecules in warm air spread out, becoming less dense, conversely, cold air molecules remain close, making it dense.

volume = mass / pressure * temperature * constant

If you hold all the variables on the right side but increase the temperature, the volume also increases, and since density = mass / volume, when the volume increases, the density decreases. So an ideal gas under constant pressure becomes less dense as the temperature increases.

No. Hot air has more energy than cold air. And if we take Einstein's retarded equation E=MC^2, we know that energy is equals to mass.

And since density is the amount of mass per volume, then you'd have to take energy into account for the mass. And therefore, cold air is not denser than hot air.

This fucking retard is inventing physics right now.
That's fucking relativistic energy. Not only that, but relativistic energy at rest with velocity equals to zero. Not only that but without taking into account other Forms of energy. Kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy etc..
And this has nothing to do with relativistic parameters, it has to do with diffusion and increasing internal energy increases molecular velocity. So with diffusion they tend to occupy a larger portion of space thus reducing their density.
It is a consequence of the random paths the particles take and the energy potential between each one of them.
