it does because it has volume. Answer: Air is made up of molecules that are moving. The moving molecules bounce into the side of the container (for example, a balloon) and push it away - taking up...

∙ 8y agoYes, air occupies space. This is because air is actually considered to be matter. All matter takes up some space.

What are examples of air taking up space?
Air is a combination of many gases, all of which are matter. The definition of matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. The obvious example is blowing up a balloon. The air occupies the space within the balloon and when enough air is packed into the balloon the membrane of the balloon stretches. This is because no two particles are able occupy the same space at the same time so the particles in the air begin to take up space.
Can an oxygen can be half empty?
Gases expand to fill the container that they are in. If you had a tank of oxygen and let half of it out, you would have half the amount of oxygen you started with. However, since the half of the oxygen that remained spread out to fill the container, there won't be empty space.
How air in a house is like a cytoplasm?
Yes, the cytoplasm is like air, they both fill in the space. Cytoolasm fills in the area of the cell and air fills in the area around us.
What will happen to the particles of a gas if the gas is transferred from a small a large container?
The gas will expand and the air pressure will decrease because the gas will have more room to move. Gas has no definite shape or volume so it is always trying to expand and move and the higher the temperature the more the energy the gas has to expand.
What happens when you suck the air out of a marshmallow?
the force of the air pulls on the marsh mellow causing it to expand
What does gases do to fill extra space?
Expand.
What are organs that expand to fill with air?
do you mean fills with air? if so then its the lungs
What do gases do to fill every space available to them?
expand
How do you know the air you breath is matter even though you can't see it?
Matter has weight and takes up space. You know that air takes up space, because when you breath in, your lungs fill with air and expand. :) MoMMy.!

Can gases stretch out to fill a vacuum?
Yes. A gas will expand to fill a space evenly.
Do gases expand to fill whatever space is available to them?
Yes.
What organ expands to fill with air?
Lungs expand to fill with air. It is done during respiration.
How does a balloon expand?
when you fill a balloon with air the air makes pressure. the air pressure maximizes the balloon fabric allowing the balloon to expand.
What Organs that expand to fill with air?
its is the lungs come to us and get your answer
Which state of matter is able to expand to fill any amount of space?
Gas
In which state of matter do the particles expand to fill all the space?
In the gas state of matter the molecules are moving too fast to stick to other molecules. Because they are free floating the molecules expand to fill all of the space available.
