There is no air in space. If you mean what is the atmosphere in the Space Station, it is essentially an ordinary Earth air mixture of nitrogen and oxygen.

Why do space vehicles heat up when they enter the earth's atmosphere?
The Space vehicles heat up when they enter the earth's atmosphere because the tendency of the air is to compress quickly when the space vehicle hits the atmosphere. When the gasses compressed the temperature also rises which causes the heat.
Why is it impossible to hear sound in space?
sound is created by through creating compression and decompression zones in the air and air particles. there is no air in space, therefore we can not make compression and decompression zones, thus stating that there is no sound in space as it can not be created without air. good enough answer? :)
Do planets make sound when they orbit?
There is no sound in space, since there is no air, and therefore they do not make sound.
Does air exist in space?
no, there is no air in space
Is a hot air balloon gas?
No. A hot air balloon is a solid object. That is, the basket, the ropes, the burner and the envelope itself are not gasses. The air within the envelope is a gas, of course; heated atmospheric gasses in fact. But the balloon itself is not a gas.
What gasses make up the air that you breath?
* * * *
What percentage of air we breathe is nitrogen?
78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. 21% is oxygen, and the other 1% is a mix of other gasses.
How is air drawn into the body?
through the lungs. they expand and the empty space creates a vacuum, which is filled with the gasses around you (hopefully air)
What percentage of the air we breathe is nitrogen?
78% of the air we breathe is nitrogen. 21% is oxygen, and the other 1% is a mix of other gasses.
Percentage of how many gases are there?
In the air around us there is 78% nitrogen 21% oxygen 1% other gasses
How is the space suited for the space environment?
the suit can keep you warm, or cool depending on your current body temp. Its air-tight to keep in vital gasses.
Can freon displace oxygen in the air?
Yes. All gasses take up space and can therefore displace oxygen.
Is air a example of a element?
No, but some of the gasses which make up air are elements (such as oxygen, nitrogen) are elements.
What is the difference between direct and indirect warm air heater?
The direct air heater takes the space air or fresh air and mixes it with hot gasses from a flame source such as natural gas flame or oil fired flame and returns / redirects it to the space to be heated. The warm air contains all the flame byproducts and toxic gasses along with. This type of air handling system is used in industrial environment where the human beings are not exposed to such warm air. In the indirect system the hot flame gasses circulate through a metallic high efficiency heat exchanger which isolates the flame gasses (aka flue gasses) from that of the air to be warmed by passing from the other side of the heat exchanger. This type of air is safe for human exposure as the flame products and toxic COx, NOx and SOx are isolated. usually all the domestic air heaters are of indirect type.
How are oxygen and air related?
Air is the mixture of gasses that make up the Earth's atmosphere. Oxygen is about 20% of that mixture.
What is a mixture of gasses?
air
What make's the sound from the jet engin?
air and combustion gasses moving at great speed and elevated pressure.
