Boyle's law of the gas, and "k" is a constant. The equation states that the product of pressure and volume is a constant for a given mass of confined gas and this holds as long as the temperature is constant. For comparing the same substance under two different sets of conditions, the law can be usefully expressed as The equation shows that, as volume increases, the pressure of the gas decreases in proportion. Similarly, as volume decreases, the pressure of the gas increases. The law was named after chemist and physicist Robert Boyle, who published the original law in 1662. This relationship
Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent Gas) is an EP by alternative rock band They Might Be Giants, released in 1993. The EP is notable for being their first release with a full-band lineup, rather than only the two original members (John Flansburgh and John Linnell) performing. It was also released as a single on 7" vinyl. All of the songs on the EP are cover versions, except for one. The title song is a cover of a song by Hy
