As of late 2023, air travel has seen fluctuations due to various factors, including economic conditions and lingering effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. While passenger numbers initially plummeted in 2020, there has been a significant recovery, with many airlines reporting near pre-pandemic levels in certain regions. However, specific metrics can vary widely based on location and time, so current statistics from aviation authorities or industry reports would provide the most accurate assessment of recent trends.
Smell travels in all directions in the air, not specifically up or down.
it traps air inside to slow it down
It travels down the trachea to your lungs.
Iv'e heard it can travel over 50 miles depending on how much pollution there is in the air.
Air is much faster travel than train.
Prior to commercial air travel, people would go on long distance journeys by boat, train or land vehicle such as car or wagon. All of these modes of travel take much longer than air travel, so it would not be uncommon for a person wishing to see Europe to be gone from their home country for several years. Today, a person can visit much of Europe in 3-4 weeks and be home within a month or so.
Air flow in an HVAC system is always circular. In the return air grills and out the supply registers. If the unit is upstairs and the ductwork goes down stairs then the supply would travel down and the return would travel up.
Sound does not travel in a vacuum because it requires a medium, such as air or water, to propagate. In the absence of a medium, there is no material for sound waves to travel through, so sound cannot travel up or down in a vacuum.
Much faster in a solid
A average hot air balloon can travel around 25 miles. But it all depends on how big it is and how much gas you have
Air can travel through some kinds of solids, if they are porous. Otherwise it can't. It can travel through liquids in the form of bubbles. It does not exactly travel through gases so much as mix with them.
Air molecules are much, much farther away from each other in air than they are in water.
