When air gets sucked out from a spacestation or whatever, where does the sucked out air go ?
In: Planetary Science
It goes into space. In space, there is *very close* to nothing. That means there’s no pressure.
Technically, space isn’t sucking the air out. The Space Station is pushing the air out. The space station is basically a soda can that you shook up and suddenly opened: the pressure inside is much higher than the pressure outside, so everything inside gets pushed out.
Where does it go from there? Well, space is so large and vast that it may as well be disappearing from existence. Technically, each of those molecules is floating around in space until something with a lot of gravity pulls it in.
