If you blew a bubble in space would it pop?

U CANT BLOW IN SPACE



LOL THATS WHAT SHE SAIDIf you blew a bubble in space would it pop?
Think about how a bubble works--it is the same as a balloon. The rubber or liquid encloses an amount of air. The surface tension of the liquid is like the elastic force of the rubber; both try to shrink to the smallest volume, which turns out to be a sphere. The amount (mass) of air you blow into the bubble or balloon could be any volume depending on the pressure, so what determines the final size? It must be the point where the pressure of the gas is the same as the outside pressure plus the pressure generated by the elastic force of the surface.



What makes a balloon pop? It happens when there is so much air that the force needed to contain it is greater than what the surface can tolerate, so the rubber or liquid film breaks.



So I think the answer is that even in a vacuum you could generate bubbles, using far less air than you would need in a normal pressure atmosphere, since the film has to contain the volume of air only by its own surface tension. Naturally, the bubble would still pop if it were blown too large. I would speculate that bubbles might be more stable in a weightless environment since the liquid film would not be distorted by gravity and would remain uniform for a longer time.If you blew a bubble in space would it pop?
You'll blow that damn thing in space with the slightest amout of air.
it depends on the maerial which the bubble made of, and the amount of air blowed inside.
