The Chinese word 天然气 (tiānránqì) for "natural gas" is composed of three characters: 天 (tiān), 然 (rán), and 气 (qì).- 天 (tiān) means "heaven" or "nature".- 然 (rán) means "burning" or "igniting".- 气 (qì) means "air" or "gas".When combined, these characters form the compound word 天然气 (tiānránqì), which literally means "natural burning air" or "natural gas". This name accurately describes the nature of natural gas as a naturally occurring flammable gas found underground.
