The popping is a result of your body/head adjusting to the pressure differences while on the plane.

Why do some balloons pop when they are left in sunlight too long?
Since the sun contains heat, the molecules move faster and that is kinetic energy. As the pressure increases, the temperature also increases. That causes the balloon to expand and it will eventually pop.
Which planet has ears?
When Galileo first observed Saturn through a telescope, he thought that it had ears. We now know that these "ears" were Saturn's rings.
Is space shuttle an airplane?
no an airplane cant go into space whereas a space shuttle can. they're made differently
Why does a space shuttle have wings and a tail like an airplane?
So it can glide back to earth and land like and airplane.
Was an airplane or a rocket invented first?
-- The gunpowder rocket was invented around 500 BCE. -- The first successful flight of an airplane was in 1903. So the rocket sneaked past the airplane in line by about 2,400 years.
When riding in an airplane there is often the sensation of popping in the ears What might causes this sensation?
It caused by change in pressure. When internal air pressure is higher than of surrounding it causes your ears to pop.
Why do your ears pop when your airplane takes off?
As the plane climbs, the pressure drops, even in a pressure cabin. The pop is your ears equalizing from ground pressure to altitude pressure.
Why do your ears pop when you are in an airplane and the plane descends for a landing?
Because of the dramatic air pressure change.
Your ears pop when you ride in an airplane or when you drive to the mountains why?
b/c of th high altitude
Why do your ears pop in an airplane take off?
This also frequently occurs on landing mainly because of the difference in air pressure.
How can you make your ears not pop on an airplane?
Chew gum, lick a lolipop, pinch your nose and blow with your mouth shut. Hope i helped!
What defines low air pressure and where is low air pressure typically found?
There is low air pressure usually when you are up in a mountain or in an airplane like when your ears pop after you get in an airplane and you are at high altitude your ears do this because the pressure inside your ears and the pressure in the air is not the same. When there low air pressure the air is less dense.
Do gases take up weight?
Yes. Imagine a bottle of gas, pretty heavy? Now Imagine an empty bottle. Liquid gas weighs the same as gaseous gas, Athmospheric pressure is a good example, ever have your ears pop? In an airplane or driving down a hill? the weight of the air causes the pop.
What do you feel on an airplane takeoff?
When an airplane takes off, passengers will feel the acceleration and lift off of the plane as it leaves the ground. Sometimes this can make passengers nervous, or as it receives elevation, it can make peoples ears pop.
What happens to your body as you descend in water?
your ears pop your ears pop
What is the function of the Eustacian tube?
It equalizes the pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere. This is what causes your ears to "pop" when you change altitude.
Does being out in the wind make a earache worse?
possibly, because the wind may make your ears pop and that usually causes discomfort especially if you already have an earache then most likely it will make it worse. usually it just depends on how sensitive your ears are. if your ears are not very sensitive then your ears may not pop but if you have sensitive ears then your ears will more likely pop especially if the wind is uneven to both of your ears, for example, if you are riding in a car and the window on one side is open even just a centimeter and the window on your other side isn't open at all then that is most likely to make your ears pop because the pressure is uneven.
