How does straw function while drink?

When you 'suck' on a straw, you reduce the air pressure inside it. This means the air pressure on the surface of the liquid outside the straw is greater - so it pushes down, which forces liquid up the straw into your mouth.

It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.


Will you be able to drink juice throw straw on the moon?

Drinking juice through a straw on the Moon would be quite different from on Earth due to the Moon's low gravity. While the straw could still function, the juice wouldn't flow naturally as it does on Earth. Instead, you would need to create suction to pull the liquid into the straw, and the lack of gravity would make it harder to control the liquid, which could float away. So, while it's technically possible, it would be a challenging experience!

When you drink a soft drink with the help of a straw what forces the liquid up the straw?

When you suck on a straw, you decrease the air pressure inside the straw, creating a partial vacuum. The higher air pressure on the surface of the liquid outside the straw then pushes the liquid up the straw and into your mouth.

Why can't we suck a cold drink through a straw on the moon?

Sucking through a straw relies on atmospheric pressure to push the liquid up. In the airless environment of the moon, there is no atmospheric pressure to assist in the suction action, making it impossible to drink through a straw.
