I want to install Mac OS in a USB or a pendrive
Hey everyone is there a way to install Mac OS on a 32 GB pen drive just for fun and I'm using Sonoma 14.5
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 14.5

Hey there!
While it may be possible, using a USB flash drive as a Mac startup disk may result in poor performance and a potentially unstable installation. Most USB flash drives are typically designed to transfer smaller files, as may not work well as a startup disk. Additionally, it's important to use an external storage device with enough space for macOS, and 32GB may be too small.
To use an external storage device as a Mac startup disk, I'd suggest using an external solid state drive (also known as an SSD). Using an external SSD will provide good system performance.
Regardless of the disk used, this Apple Support document provides the steps:

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any questions!
