Gas expansion

Gas expansion occurs when a gas increases in volume due to a change in its environment, such as a decrease in pressure or an increase in temperature. When gas particles have more space to move, they spread out, filling a larger area. This process follows the principles of thermodynamics, where energy input (like heat) or a reduction in external pressure causes the particles to occupy more space. Gas expansion is important in many applications, such as engines, weather systems, and industrial processes, enabling gases to perform work or adapt to different conditions.
