Solution

Advantages of compressing gases: As gases are highly compressible because their particles are far away from each other.
Due to their compressibility, they can be stored in the small volume. Like LPG gas in home cylinders are stored at high pressure. So due to their compressibility large volume can be stored in a small region.
