Air is a combination of many gases, all of which are matter. The definition of matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. The obvious example is blowing up a balloon. The air occupies the space within the balloon and when enough air is packed into the balloon the membrane of the balloon stretches. This is because no two particles are able occupy the same space at the same time so the particles in the air begin to take up space.

If it did not take up space then your lungs would fill up with nothingness which is a vacuum causing your lungs to rupture and your whole body ,would ,essentially decompress ( also it causes atmospheric pressure).

Does wind occupy space?
If you mean "Does air occupy space?" then yes it does when we compress air it takes space.. but when its not compressed we may not feel it but it still does take up space..
Does air expand to fill space?
it does because it has volume. Answer: Air is made up of molecules that are moving. The moving molecules bounce into the side of the container (for example, a balloon) and push it away - taking up...
What term is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass?
Anything with mass and space-holding properties is considered to be matter. Atoms make up the basis of all matter. Air has mass and takes up space.
Why does thermal energy flow upwards?
I assume ... Thermal meaning warm(th) and by upwards flow you would be talking about air? Immagine this ... If you take a bit of metal and you warm it up (a lot), it expands. something very similar happens to the air. When you warm things up what you are really doing is making the particles move around a whole bunch more ... meaning that they need more space. Now if the particales are suddenly taking up more space and so are further apart from each other you will have fewer particles in a 10 by 10 space full of warm air than in a 10 by 10 space of cold air. This means that the 10 by 10 space of warm air is also lighter than the 10 by 10 space of cold air and so can rise to the top, creating an 'upward' flow. If we didnot live on a planet and so did not have such a strong gravitational field, this wouldn't happen! (not to mention that there is no proper 'up and down' in space)
Can you guys please give me an easy summary of air?
all space is made up of air which is a compression of gases
Where do you see examples of air taking up space and having pressure?
whenever you conatian air. example: balloons, astronout oxygen containers, when you blow up your cheeks, bubbles in glass, ect.
What are some examples of properties of air?
Air takes up space. Example is balloon.
What are some examples of the properties of air?
Air takes up space. Example is balloon.
What are the somes of examples of airs?
Air takes up space. Example is balloon.
When happens when air is heated?
It expands, taking up more space, if there is no more space, pressure in the container increases.
Why would it be incorrect to say This room is full of air?
Yes, it would. If you are standing in the room, you are taking up space that is not all air.
What examples of air taking up space?
submerging a tissue wadded up into the bottom of a cup..inverting the cup and plunging straight down into a bowl of water..lifting it straight out and checking to see if the tissue is wet. It should be dry due to the air trapped in between the tissue and water
What is a Real life example of air taking up space?
Basketball Submarine floating on water a car tire filled with air your lungs filled with air
What 4 examples of accleration?
elevator going up air craft taking off rocket launching and also,
Why vent is provided on the fuel tank cap?
it is to allow air to enter the tank to replace the space that the gas was taking up.
Could you measure that air takes up space?
Blowing up a balloon is essentially a measurement of air taking up space. The balloon does add slightly to the pressure (although the newer Mylar balloons often have less pressure). However, the space occupied by the balloon defines the space occupied by the air (or gas) inside. Helium or Hydrogen are lighter than air. They will still take up space in your balloon, but because they have a lower density than air, they cause the balloons to float. If you have a pressure chamber/vacuum chamber, you can cause the same amount of air to take up more space by lowering the outside pressure, or make it take up less space by increasing the pressure.
What happens when air heated?
It expands, taking up more space, if there is no more space, pressure in the container increases.
