== == 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.

The basketball at room temperature has more energy, because cold is just the absence of energy. The ball that is frozen would not bounce as high because it is wanting to stay in that shape, and has less time to react.

Does the size of the ball effect how high it bounces?

I don't believe so. Think of a basketball and a super ball. (I know, this is for example) Both of them bounce super high, and a baseball doesn't bounce. I think it depends on the air inside of it and not the size. Basketballs have air, super balls too, footballs bounce a little also.

Do different surfaces affect the bounce of a bsketball?

Yes. If the surface is soft the basketball will not bounce as high, but if the surface is like a gym floor the basketball will bounce extrememly well. Also you have into consideration the force of friction. The more friction the surface can produce the slower the ball will go.
