Why hot water is heavier than cold water? I know that this question is a bit relatable to the Einstein's theory of relativity but don't have a clue...

this is wrong question because cold water is heavier than hot water
rivendell:
Question's absolutely right !
no no absolutely wrong
because I have referred more time about this topic
question is hundred percent of 200 and 400 504 Central
According to the theory of relativity, the “relativistic mass” of the water increases, because of the increased energy of the water molecules. That’s because of Einstein’s famous equation E = mc2 (Energy = mass multiplied by the speed of light squared). Therefore we should observe a very very small increase in the weight of the water. In this sense, hot water is (very very slightly) heavier than cold water. Actually, the term “relativistic mass” is often avoided by professional physicists.
You may have 'referred' higher time to this topic but you definitely haven't been through quantum mechanics!

Hot water is lighter than the same volume of cold water, not heavier. The reason for the decrease in density as the temperature increases is that the water molecules cannot get so close together at higher temperatures. The molecules have more kinetic energy and take up more space as they move around in the liquid.
Yes, it is true that cold bodies have relatively higher mass than their state of higher temperature of same volume. I appreciate your answer but my question was slightly different....
