Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "Adiabatic compression occurs when a gas is compressed without exchanging heat with its surroundings, causing all the work done on the gas to increase its internal energy. As the gas molecules are forced closer together, they move faster, which leads to a rapid rise in temperature. In extreme cases, such as in diesel engines or high-pressure physics experiments, this temperature increase can be dramatic, reaching thousands of degrees Celsius, enough to ignit
