Yes, a vacuum is literally nothing. Gas expands to fill its container. “space” is an infinite vacuum. So the container is an infinite vacuum. There’s nothing keeping the air contained on the spinning ball moving thousands of miles per hour.
Things do not move without a force applied to them. Important to understand. When gas expands to fill a container it's because it's under pressure and/or excited. It's not something that magically happens all the time no matter what. If you put a gas into a container with plenty room to spare, it won't fill the container.
The gas won't shoot off into space by itself...because there's no force being exerted onto it.
When gas expands to fill a container it's because it's under pressure and/or excited. It's not something that magically happens all the time no matter what.
In order for it to be a gas, that already means it is excited. Otherwise it would be a less excited state, a solid or a liquid. Expanding to fill a container is a property of all gasses, yes, they do always fill the container. It is a basic property of a gas.
Compared to the other states of matter, gases have low density and viscosity. Pressure and temperature influence the particles within a certain volume. This variation in particle separation and speed is referred to as compressibility. This particle separation and size influences optical properties of gases as can be found in the following list of refractive indices. Finally, gas particles spread apart or diffuse in order to homogeneously distribute themselves throughout any container.
Yes it does. The infinite vacuum it’s sitting next to
A vacuum is literally nothing. There's nothing to stop gravity. You seem to think things move for no reason. You need a force for something to move
