When any thing is heated its volume is increased and as a result of the same its weight is decreased. Weight of a body is the force through which earth pulls it towards it (earth).When a body is bounced its weight resists the bounce. Greater the weight greater will be resistance. Heated bodies due to reduction in weight provide lesser resistance in its bouncing.

Why does a heated tennis ball bounce higher?
A heated tennis ball bounces higher because the hot air inside the ball is lighter than the air around the ball therefore giving the tennis ball the ability to bounce higher.
Which ball goes higher a small ball or big ball?
Because of gravity, a ball with a larger mass will take more energy to bounce than a small ball (of the same material) will, so a small one will usually bounce higher.
Does lightweight ball bounce higher than a heavyweight ball?
No the mass, and therefore weight, are not greatly relevant. What matters is the elasticity.
Why do small balls bounce higher than big balls?
Bouncing is a function of the elastic qualities of the ball, due to its composition. But it takes more energy to "manually bounce" a large ball because the person bouncing it is supplying the initial force (rather than just gravity). It is easier for a person to apply a large force to a lighter, smaller ball to make it bounce higher.
Why does a ball bounce higher than others?
it will bounce higher if there is more air. ex. Flat basketball- being flat, the ball will just hit the floor and will be pressed inwards on the spot it landed pumped basketball- being full of air, the ball hits the ground and like a flat basketball is pressed inwards. but because there's air in it, the air will make the ball retain its shape and bounce.
