How is temperature related to the density of air?

To determine

The relationship between temperature and density of air.

Explanation

The pressure and density of a gas is inversely proportional to its temperature. The solar radiations incident at the Earth’s surface during daytime causes the heating of the air near the surface, as a result of which the air becomes warmer. This in turn increases or expands the volume of air...
