Answer 1:
What happens to air when it gets hotter or
colder? The balloon is showing you the
answer. Picture being really hot with a bunch of
other people and waving your hands to fan yourself
off. Then, picture being really cold with the
bunch of other people and crowding together to get
warm. That is a bit like the air molecules in
the balloon, except of course the air
molecules don't have hands! And the air molecules
don't care if they're cold; they just move slower
and don't bump into each other as much and don't
push the other molecules as far away from them as
they do when they're hot and fast.
