Math & Science ⇒ Space in align enviroment

[Willie]

Hello. I typed a few rows of equations in `align' enviroment, and noticed that the lines were too close to each other because of the mathematical symbols. therefore, I used \\[0.2cm] at the end of lines.
Is there a way to define the `newline' command in the preamble to always increase the line spacing by 0.2cm, but only in the `align' enviroment?

Hi Willie,

you could adjust the length \jot,

Thanks you for the reply. It worked, but somehow the spacing using this command seems to not be equal to the spacing using the \\[height].
when I compared the two I found that \\[0.2cm] is equal to \setlength{\jot}{0.3cm}

are you familiar with this effect?

thanks again
