simple and easy a comet a comet has a solid center nucleus that contains rock particles trapped in frozen liqud

this forms the tail: as it moves closer to the sun the "outer ice" turns to gas and the solid particles (pieces) turn to dust

The winds of outer space are called solar winds. Not really air but it is the movement of gases and charged particles coming from the sun or the planets into outer space.


How does the theory explain why gases can be squashed?

cause the particles have alot of space


Ability to force a gas into smaller space is called what?

It is called compressibility. The compressibility of gases can be explained by the kinetic particle theory: due to the large amount of space between the gas particles and the weak attraction forces between them, gases can easily be compressed (the particles are brought closer to each other, thus reducing the volume of the gas).

Why cant thermal radiation move through space by conduction or convection?

Because in space there are no particles (this is called a vacuum), however conduction and convection require particles to work eg. solids, liquids and gases have particle arrangements. So thermal radiation has to travel through space via radiation as space is a vacuum and particle-less.
