AnswersDriveGases are also what can make farts smell bad. Tiny amounts of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane combine with hydrogen sulfide (say: SUHL-fyde) and ammonia (say: uh-MOW-nyuh) in the large intestine to give gas its smell. Phew!
Is it possible to fart in your sleep?
Suspending Bodily Functions (Including Farting) During Sleep. Thankfully, our bodies are able to put these activities to rest during sleep. Therefore, we can normally make it through the night without feeling a need to eat, drink, urinate, or defecate.

Do everyone fart?
It is mostly nitrogen and carbon dioxide with some hydrogen and methane mixed in, with tiny amounts of skatole, indole, methanethiol, hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide to give it a stinky smell. Everyone farts but some people take enough care with the release that they are rarely caught out.

How fast does a fart come out in mph?
While anecdotal evidence circulating on the Internet states that farts travel an average of 10 feet (3 meters) per second, or nearly 7 miles per hour, a scientific determination of fart speed is more difficult to pinpoint.
8
Is nitrogen gas lighter than air?
Oxygen is denser than both air and nitrogen, at all temperatures and pressures, but only slightly. Since they don't separate from each other, we generally don't worry which is lighter or heavier. The difference in the density of nitrogen and oxygen gas comes from their molecular weight, which is small (4 g/mol).

Can a fart really catch on fire?
The fact that flatus is flammable, and the actual combustion of it through this practice, gives rise to much humorous derivation. In order to "fire fart", one must have a fart prepared in the anal cavity, and a lighter at the ready. Then they fart onto the lighter.

What is a fart?
Gases are also what can make farts smell bad. Tiny amounts of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane combine with hydrogen sulfide (say: SUHL-fyde) and ammonia (say: uh-MOW-nyuh) in the large intestine to give gas its smell. These can release larger amounts of gas as they break down in your body.

Can you die from a fart?
Fart gas is unbreathable air, and if you were able to fill a scuba tank with it by saving up your farts for a year, and then make someone breathe the resulting gas, they would die from lack of oxygen.
13
Why is a fart flammable?
Most of the gas you produce from swallowed air is made up of nitrogen and carbon dioxide. The bacteria in your intestines give your farts their unique smell and makes them flammable. Methane and hydrogen in these bacteria-produced farts are the flammable chemicals that make the exploding fart possible.
14
How is the sound of a fart made?
The sound of your farts is affected by how much gas has built up inside, and how fast it comes out. It also depends on how tight the sphincter (SFINK-ter) muscles are. They ring the anus and help keep it closed. All these things together cause vibrations as the gas pushes through.
15
Can cows fart?
In actuality it's not as much the farting that's the problem, cows' burping and manure contribute more methane gas than flatulence. According to researchers at New Zealand's largest Crown Research Institute, AGResearch, up to 95 percent of the emissions comes from the cow's mouth rather than its behind.
16
What is the chemical makeup of a fart?
Chemical Makeup of the Average Fart. 59% nitrogen, 21% hydrogen, 9% carbon dioxide, 7% methane and 4% oxygen—all essentially odorless. (Less than 1% is what makes farts stink.)
17
How do you stop flatulence?
- Avoid Foods Known to Cause Gas. One way to manage flatulence and belching is to eat fewer of the well-known gassy foods.
- Drink Before Meals.

- Try Activated Charcoal.
- Don't Fill Up on Air.
