Food for Thought: Temperature and Odor

Do you think the temperature of the room affects the time it takes an odor to get to your nose? Explain your answer. Provide two pieces of scientific reasoning to explain why.

 

I don’t think so because there are no heat or cooling atoms that make the odor stick to the heat atoms. Another piece of evidence heat goes up and if there is a lot of heat in the air the heat atoms will go up instead of on the odor particles.
