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?

it doesnt just vanish, but it does spread out. There is no pressure holding it together, so it just spreads as large as it wants. This makes it effectively vanish.
