There are many different theories in which most the universe does grow. According to the Pulsating universe theory, the universe is like a rubber band. it grows then comes together to form another big bang.this keeps on going in a cycle. in The steady state and Continuesly-expanding universe theories , the universe does grow.

No. Unless there is extreme gravity or other forces pushing atoms together, they remain a normal size. Atoms far in space do not expand simply because it lacks contact with other atoms.

No Atoms do not grow.
I stellar explosions atoms of heavier elements are formed by thermodynamic fusion processes from lighter elements.
We are all made of star dust!

No, the particles stay the same size. When something expands, its getting warmer. The heat allows the particles to move faster which causes them to bump against the wall of their container.

What is the process called when particles in a metal lid expand under hot water?

This is a misconception. Particles do not expand, When they get hot they move further apart. This means that the object (the lid) gets bigger. It's just called expansion.

Do all objects expand when heated?

All objects do not expand on heating.....Only metals expand on heating.....non metals like wood,plastic,etc do not expand on heating.


Why do metals expand due to temperature rise?

In every object there are moving particles. The particle theory states that the hotter the objects temperature, the faster its particles move. so, in a block of ice, the particles would move very slowly, but in a tray that has been in an oven, the partciles move very quickly. Because the particles - which make up the tray - are moving so fast, the size of the tray would expand.


When things get bigger you say they contract converge or expand?

They expand.


Is it true or false that materials expand because its particles expanded?

Actually the particles do not expand. The reason behind is that the particles, due to some reason, gets energy and get excited and accelerate. As they get fast, they collide with each other and expand the material.


Does a solid expand?

yes, the heat makes the particles move and in the heat they expand.
