What do you say when air is pushed into a smaller space?

It's compressed.


Are we submerged in air or are we floating in air?

To float in air is to leave the ground. As the atmosphere stretches from the ground to the edge of space, I would say we were submerged in air.


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.


Do Moon have the air or the stars?

The density of the gases in space is so low that we would not term them "air". As you increase in altitude from Sea Level the density of air gradually decreases right up until you reach space. There is no point where there is a sudden change so that someone can say that air has stopped and space has begun. Quite simply, the upper reaches of the atmosphere have been defined by picking an altitude. Below that altitude is "air"; above it is "space".

If space exist as we were so diligently taught in school and scientist say there is no air in space how the hell does a flag wave with no air no atmosphere and no wind sorry it was faked.

Can we say that you cant hear sound in space because there is no oxygen and carbon dioxide?

It is better to say that it is because there is no air of any sort in space. Any gas can carry sound, it is not a special property of oxygen or carbon dioxide.


Can humans breathe normally in in space as they can on earth?

there is no air in space so humans can't breath there if there was air the space would have been colorful because air reflects light.no one can hear us say anything in space because sound travels through air at a top speed of 340-350 meters per second and there is no air in space.there is no air there is no life.So when astronomers reach space they have to take oxygen masks with them so they can breath. the amount of gases in air: oxygen=21% nitrogen=79% other gases=1%


How far is the earth from the space?

To answer that, we have to agree on where space starts; then we can say how far away that is.Let's say that space starts where the air is so thin that a satellite can stay in orbit, withoutslowing down enough to fall down to earth.That's about 160 miles straight up from where you are right now. Everything farther than that is 'space'.

Is it more accurate to say the liquid is pushed up the straw rather than sucked up the straw?

"Nature Abhors a vacuum," proclaimed Aristotle. And he was right, at least as far as sucking through straws is concerned. Air is a gas, a combination of carbon dioxide and oxygen, amongst other compounds. As a gas, its form is mutable and expands to fill the available space. It exists both outside and inside the straw. By sucking through the straw, one lowers the pressure within it so that the air pressure on the outside is greater than that on the inside. The outside pressure acts upon, say, the liquid in the cup, and it flows into the straw to replace the diminishing air pressure within. The act of drawing the air out of the straw causes the liquid to enter it. Thus, the liquid is sucked up the straw due to that initiating act (i.e. the liquid is pulled, not pushed, up the straw). Alas, the answer to your question is: no. It is not more accurate to say the liquid is pushed up the straw rather than sucked up, however, the accuracy of either statement itself leaves much to be desired.
