When air is warmed up, its molecules move faster and faster and as a result they move further from each other. They still have the same mass, but they now occupy a larger volume. This means that its density is smaller.
The opposite when air is cooled off. The molecules slow down, get closer together, occupy a smaller volume and therefore its density is bigger.
When air is warmed up, it goes up. Once it's up there, is cools off and goes back down. Near the heated surface the air gets warmed up again, goes up, cools down, goes back down, and again and again.
that is called convection cells
