SteveIn a closed object, air can expand when it is heated. As the air molecules gain kinetic energy, they move faster and farther apart, causing the air to take up more space and increase in pressure within the closed object. This expansion of air is governed by the ideal gas law, which describes the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature of a gas.

What are organs that expand to fill with air?
Lungs are organs that expand to fill with air during the process of breathing. They have the ability to expand and contract to draw in oxygen and expel carbon dioxide.
Why do your luns expand and contract?
to pull in air and break out air
What decreases as air rises that allows it to expand?
As air rises, the atmospheric pressure decreases. This reduction in pressure allows the air to expand because there are fewer air molecules pressing down on it, leading to an increase in volume.
What would happen to a balloon if you filled it with cooler air and then placed it in the hot sun for an hour?
The cooler air inside the balloon would increase in temperature, causing it to expand and potentially burst the balloon. This is because gases expand when heated.
How does heat maike objects expand?
Yes, the more temperature an object has the farther apart the molecules move.
