If you store tennis balls at a warm temperature will it affect the rebound?

Yes it will effect the rebound height. It tends to bounce higher in a warm temperature because the molecules speed up and strike the inner core more and faster so this makes it bounce higher!

What effect will temperature have on the rebound height of tennis balls?
Very little
Your partner and you are doing your project on how can the temperature affect how high a tennis ball bounces?
i am not sure but when it gets hot balls tend to expand and preforme like flat balls but when its cold balls usually contract and get tighter and bounce higher.
Does temperature affect the air inside the tennis ball?
It the ball has air in it, then an increase of temperature will increase the pressure within the ball, over the short term. Over the long term, all pressurized tennis balls lose pressure. If the ball is the pressureless type, it has no air to be affected by temperature.
What is the coldest temperature to store a tennis ball?
Although there is no preset or manufacture recommended temperature at which tennis balls may be stored, they should be stored at room temperatures of between 65 and 75 degrees, with 68 being the ideal, as that is the temperature mandated for testing tennis balls by the International Tennis Federation (the ruling body for tennis; refer to the ITF link, below).
How high can a cold hot or warm tennis ball bounce?
My son and I did this experiment as a science fair project. We put 2 tennis balls in the freezer for 1 hour. We also put 2 tennis balls in heating pad (high setting) for 1 hour. We also used 2 room temperature balls. We dropped the balls from 80" onto a tile floor and measured the height of the bouces with a measuring tape. The results were fairly dramatic. The tennis balls from the freezer bounced an average of 25 inches. The room temperature balls bounced a full 50 inches. The warm balls bounced an average of 55 inches. Obviously there was a significant difference between the bounces of cold and warm tennis balls.
What makes a racketball and tennis ball different from each other?
tennis balls are furry and raquet balls are not . tennis balls are also bigger.
Why do you use new tennis balls and not old tennis balls?
New tennis balls are considered fresh and not "flat". Old tennis balls exposed to play and air become flat and do not perform normally in a match.
What are the needs of tennis?
To play tennis, basically all you need is a racket your size, tennis balls, tennis court shoes and tennis balls. Very Simple.
How quickly do tennis balls lose their bounce?
Tennis balls bounce because the air pressure inside is higher than the outside pressure. They begin to lose bounce as soon as removed from their pressure can. The alititude where the ball is played will affect the bounce. As they are played, they lose more bounce. Typically, they lose too much bounce to play after about 3 sets of recreational (amateur) tennis, or 8 games of professional tennis.
What is your hypothesis on how the temperature effects a tennis balls height?
If a tennis ball is cooler then the atoms have less energy so it may hypothetically bounce lower than if it was warmer
