The answer depends in part on the construction of the "ball". However... e.g.,
...the higher the temperature of the air in a tennis ball the higher the pressure of that air will be and the more resistant the ball will be to deformation when it strikes surface or racket. The less deformation needed to absorb a particular amount of kinetic energy the less energy will be lost (converted to heat) by the deformation and subsequent (vibratory) reformation. More will therefor remain kinetic and the ball will retain more of its speed. It will therefor bounce higher, etc. The relative hardness of the ball will also effect friction and rotation off surface and racket, but these second order effects are not obvious (to me, anyway) from first principles.
In a lower range, the ball will shatter rather than bounce. Dip one in liquid nitrogen and see. Of course, now we are talking about the temperature of the ball rather than the temperature of the air inside the ball.

What pictures can answer the question How does temperature affect the bounce of a ball?
temperature does affect the bounce of a ball!
How would the temperature effect the bounce of a basketball?
The temperature of a room will effect the amount a ball will rebound (bounce) off the floor, off a backboard or rim. If a basketball is filled with air to the regulation pressure and then it is moved to a room with a higher temperature, the ball will soon start to bounce more. Alternatively if you move it a cooler room it will bounce less. This is because: Pressure = Volume x Temperature. As the temperature rises (assuming there is no leak in the ball to allow the volume of air to escape) the pressure on the inside of the ball will increase, this will increase the bounce of the ball. If, instead of the temperature rising, it decreases the pressure on the inside of the ball will go down and the bounciness of the ball will go down as well.
Will a hot tennis ball bounce higher than a cold tennis ball?
In theory, yes, however the largest effect of the temperature will be on the court. The hotter the surface is, the higher the ball will bounce.
How does the temperature of a tennis ball effect its height of its bounce?
the hotter the tennis ball is the higher it will bounce because the molecules are moving faster and the pressure is decreasing. Opposite when it is cold.
How does density effect the bounce of a ball?
If the balls weight is heavy it will not bounce as high but if the ball is lighter it will have more of a Chance to bounce higher.
Does the shape or size of a ball effect the bounce of it?
Does the size of the ball determine how high the ball will bounce? I need the answer for a science project.
Does the temperature affect the bounce of the ball?
yes
How does temperature affect the height that a dropped ball bounces?
When the ball is at a low temperature, the molecules are not flexible and bounce only to a small height. On the other hand, if the ball is warm or at a higher temperature, it will bounce longer heights.
How does a surface effect how high a tennis ball will bounce?
if it is rough it will bounce lower and it is smooth it will bounce higher
Does the height of a ball effect the bounce height?
Yes it does
