So that there is enough margin for the tracks to expand and contract due to the temperature changes. If that gap is not left then the tracks might have enormous stress in them while expanding due to heat. ... When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its molecules increases

Sangram11: no it's not a correct answer

the gaps are left between the rail because when it is the  season of winter the railway tracks expands and contract in summer season so the gaps have kept

Sangram11: answer is almost correct but one mistake is there in summer it expands wherein winter it contracts
