When air gets sucked out from a spacestation or whatever, where does the sucked out air go ?

In: Planetary Science

Answer 1

Kind of like when you spray an air freshener or pop a helium balloon in a large room, the gas/particles contained in those vessels immediately begin to spread out to fill the larger space that they are now contained within. Being infinitely large and a vacuum, the air in a spaceship gets pretty violently sucked out and diffuses into the void of space.
