== == This is because of air's tendency to become more dense when it is cold. This happens because air molecules,when cold, move slowly and close together while air molecules,when warm, move fast and farther apart.

Yes, cold air is denser than warm air, which can affect the bounce of a Basketball. In cooler temperatures, the basketball will have less bounce due to the increased air density resisting the ball's compression. Conversely, in warmer temperatures, the basketball will bounce higher because the air is less dense and allows for better rebound.
