That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.

Gases expand most on heating because their particles have high kinetic energy, causing them to move further apart. Solids expand least because their particles are tightly packed and have less freedom to move, limiting the expansion.
All solids expand when they are heated. Examples include concrete slabs having spacers between them to accommodate expansion, and balloons expand with air being pumped into them and contract when air is let out.
The scale is assumed to expand and contract with the solid - you cannot measure a solid with a 30cm ruler from another continent.
Liquids expand more than solids on heating
No, gases expand more than solids when heated.
The answer is a lot more simple than you may imagine, it is simply because the atoms and molecules in liquids havd more freedom to move about than in solids
yes
Solid, liquid and gas will expand on heating. One exception is water that expands on being heated, and on being frozen into solid ice.
No all solids do not expand at same rate because some solid expand at less temperature and some solids expand at less temperature. For example if we take iron and plastic iron expands at high temperature and plastic melt at less temperature(at candle light also).
Most solids expand as they increase in temperature and contract as they get colder. Interestingly, water after it freezes will start to expand as it gets even colder.
