hot air rises, science or technology?

The concept that "hot air rises" is primarily a scientific phenomenon rooted in the principles of physics, specifically thermodynamics and buoyancy.
When air is heated, it becomes less dense than the cooler air around it. This difference in density causes the warmer air to rise, as buoyancy acts to lift lighter materials (or air, in this case) above heavier ones. This principle is foundational to understanding how hot air balloons work, weather patterns, and various natural phenomena.
While the understanding of this principle can be applied in technological contexts (like designing heating systems, fire safety protocols, etc.), the concept itself is fundamentally scientific.
