When air evacuates from a space craft, what happens to the air/oxygen?
It doesn’t disappear to nothing right? Would it be like a air bubble in water?

Take a pinch of cinnamon powder and blow really hard on it. The cinnamon doesn’t disappear into nothing but you will no longer see it anywhere because it dispersed so much. That’s what would happen to the air in space (or in a vacuum canister here on earth for that matter).
