Grab a bottle of food coloring. Fill a bathtub with water.

The bathtub is space. There’s no food coloring in space. 

Drip one drop of food coloring into the tub. That’s the air that just leaked out of your space station. 

If you leave the tub alone, eventually that single drop will ‘disappear’ into space.
