What is the significance of knowing the size of the image at 72 PPI and 300 PPI?

What happens to the resolution of an image when you double the size?
If you double the size of an image, the resolution decreases by half, because the pixels are twice as far apart to fit the physical size. For example, a 400 x 400-pixel image, has a physical size of 4 x 4 inches and has a resolution of 100 pixels per inch (ppi).
How is the size of an image determined?
The size in pixels per inch of an image is determined by its metadata. A 1000×1000 pixel image can be 300 ppi or 72 ppi or even 2 ppi and it will still be the same 1000×1000 pixels in size. The only difference is the number hidden in the internal metatdata of the image.
Why does PPI go down in Adobe InDesign?
Chances are the Actual PPI is the same, but the Effective PPI is different (smaller). Because you are putting a smaller image into a bigger frame, it is stretching over a larger area. This will cause your Effective PPI to go down. Try dragging the image into an area on the page that is not already a frame/object.
