Gas temperature measures the average kinetic energy of molecules, so they move faster when warmed and slower when cooled. Faster motion makes a gas expand or, if confined, increase its pressure, while slower motion makes it contract and become denser—warm gas tends to rise and cold gas sinks, creating convection currents. These principles explain everyday effects like balloons inflating in heat, faster diffusion at higher temperatures, and temperature-driven airflow in weather and buildings.
