Solution

Hot airs have low density then cold airs so here buoyancy force is acted on hot air in upward direction This the reason for hot air rises up.
As we go up in the atmosphere, air density decreases. Near the earth surface density of air is low compare to some metre height above the earth surface.Because the earth surface is hotter in summer day
