We need air to sail, to fill balloons, to fly aeroplanes, to make fire, to dry things, to pump vehicle tires etc.
Air is a conducting medium for sound: we can hear the sound of speech or noise because of air around us. It happens because air is a good sound conductor. Without air, we will not be able to hear anything and won’t be able to produce any sounds.
Air helps to dry things: (Moisture Balance) When the rain makes the ground to be wet, the air dries it up.
Air helps us to swim in water: When our lungs fill up with air, we can swim higher in the water.
Fire needs air to burn. Air in the tyre helps vehicles to move
