There are two factors that influence air resistance with temperature.
Air density decreases with temperature so that the force needed to push the air out of the way is decreased, thereby decreasing resistance. Conversely, air viscosity increases with temperature (unlike oil for example where viscosity decreases with temperature) so that the drag increases.
Under normal conditions, the density change of air has the greatest effect and air resistance decreases at higher temperatures.

How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object-How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object?
It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.
Does air resistance occur when the wind is blowing?
Yes, air resistance still occurs when the wind is blowing. The speed and direction of the wind will affect the amount of air resistance experienced by objects moving through the air.
How does the expansion of air affect temperature?
It cools.
What three factors affect air temperature?
Three factors that affect air temperature are latitude (distance from the equator), altitude (elevation above sea level), and proximity to large bodies of water (oceans, lakes). These factors influence the amount of incoming solar radiation, the air's ability to retain heat, and the presence of maritime or continental climates which can affect temperature.
In what way does the temperature of soil affect the temperature of air?
The temperature of soil can affect the temperature of air above it because soil absorbs and stores heat from the sun during the day. This stored heat is then released back into the atmosphere at night, which can elevate the air temperature. Additionally, dry soil tends to heat up more quickly than wet soil, which can influence how much heat is transferred to the air.
