उत्तर
This statement is True.
Explanation:
Warm air is lighter than cool air because when air is heated, its molecules move faster and spread apart, making it less dense. As a result, warm air rises and cool air sinks. This difference in air density is a key factor in atmospheric processes such as convection and the formation of wind.
