Here are some everyday uses of gases that can be squeezed into smaller sizes:

1. Aerosol Sprays: These products have gases packed tightly inside. When you press the nozzle, the mixture comes out.

2. Helium Balloons: Helium gas is easy to compress, which lets the balloon get bigger as it floats high in the sky.

3. Natural Gas Pipelines: These pipelines carry gas to our homes. The gas is squeezed to take up less space, with pressure sometimes getting higher than 800 psi.

Some Quick Facts:

• When gases are compressed, they can shrink to more than 80% of their original size.
• In aerosol cans, the gas can be pushed to pressures between 60 to 100 psi.
