It depends on how you define gas, and on how large a scale you are looking at.

If air is any gas then of course it is thousands of times more abundant on a universal scale, and almost certainly on a global scale too. (after all not only is the atmosphere deeper than the ocean but as it is further away from the centre of the earth each meter's depth has a greater effect)

If you only count air as oxygen then I'm not sure on a global scale but I'm pretty sure it will still be more abundant on a universal scale.

Hope this helps

How air get cooled?

Warm air rises....and when it rises it becomes cooler. ...If the pressure of surrounding air is reduced then the rising air parcel will expand. The molecules are doing work as they expand . This will affect the parcel's temperature.


Why do your luns expand and contract?

to pull in air and break out air


What happens when you heat and cool air?

When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.


What decreases as air rises that allows it to expand?

As you go up in elevation, the local air pressure drops, because there is less air above you to push Dow (gravity) to produce the pressure. Less pressure allows the air to expand.


What would cause the air parcel to expand as it rises?

As an air parcel rises, it enters areas of lower atmospheric pressure, which allows it to expand. The decrease in pressure results in a reduction of the external force acting on the air parcel, enabling it to expand. Additionally, as the air parcel rises, it cools, and if it contains moisture, this cooling can lead to condensation and cloud formation, further influencing its dynamics. Ultimately, the combination of lower pressure and temperature effects leads to the expansion of the rising air parcel.


Does the chamber of a barometer expand or contract as the air pressure goes up?

The chamber of a barometer will contract as air pressure goes up. A rise in air pressure pushes the mercury column downward, causing the chamber at the top to become smaller.


Why does air contract and expand?

Air contracts and expands because of changes in temperature. When air is heated, its molecules gain energy and move faster, spreading out and causing the air to expand. Conversely, when air is cooled, its molecules lose energy and move slower, coming closer together and causing the air to contract.


What are organs that expand to fill with air?

do you mean fills with air? if so then its the lungs


How does convection happen?

Liquids and gasses tend to expand when heated, this lowers the density, thus warm "air" rises and cool air falls.


As moist air rises its temperature will what?

The air temperature rises when particles in the air begin to move faster. The energy of the motion of particles is called thermal energy.


Why does heat expand when it rises?

As a substance is heated, its particles gain energy and move faster, causing the substance to expand. When heat energy is added to a substance, the particles spread out and take up more space, leading to expansion. This is why warm air rises, as it is less dense than the cooler air around it.


As a helium filled balloon rises in the air it becomes?

Larger (the air pressure is dropping as it rises).
