Hot air doesn’t rise, its displaced by colder air because it is less dense. Also, space doesn’t exactly have a temperature. The gases are cold, especially the farther you are away from stars, planets and other objects.

hot air has a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore,it will rise.. The reason it is "cold" in the upper atmosphere is actually because of a lower air density.
