In order to equalize the pressure difference between the the rising parcel and its new environment, air molecules inside the higher - pressure air parcel push out the sides of the parcel.

When cosmic rays strike the air, they create showers of ionizing radiation — particles that can knock electrons free of atoms and molecules — that can penetrate deep inside our bodies.

This causes the air inside the glass to contract (its molecules do not bounce around as much).

A clump of air molecules could fool an observer into thinking that something lies below — perhaps a glacier — so each satellite has what's known as a «proof mass» floating in a chamber inside, untethered to the satellite itself.

Humans detect smells by inhaling air that contains odor molecules, which then bind to receptors inside the nose, relaying messages to the brain.

Inside a drop of rain, molecules interact more strongly than with the air outside, and so a surface forms.

Once this mixture of fuel droplets, and air is inside the cylinder, and a spark occurs do the air molecules gain kinetic energy, then collide into the atomised fuel, and the individual fuel molecules break apart thus turning fuel from a liquid to a gas (vaporisation), then those fuel molecules combines with the air molecule, then combustion occurs?

Also sniffing brings air with scents directly into the nostrils and then onto the moist surfaces inside the nasal cavity which catches the molecules so the dog's internal receptors can decode them.

Perhaps you should take a break from this and go and sit outside in the fresh air and relax in the big powerful waves of invisible longwave infrared heat direct from the Sun warming you up inside and look at the benign, restful visible light from the Sun making the sky blue as it is bounced around all over the place by the molecules of air in the atmosphere.

A «parcel» of air, or «differential» volume of air in any macroscopic discussion is a volume large enough to contain enough molecules that thermodynamic averages pertain to the behavior of the parcel as if the air inside were a continuous fluid, so that when conducting this sort of discussion we can ignore the movement of individual molecules across the surface of (which are in detailed balance anyway, at equilibrium).
