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 think that the temperature of the room does affect how fast the odor travels through the air. My evidence is if the temperature of the room is really cold, it will freeze the odor a little bit, which will make it harder for the odor to move. Another reason is yes, because if it’s really hot, there won’t really be anything holding the odor back from traveling across the room.
