Bubbles in coca cola drinks on an aeroplane in flight are bigger?

The airpressure is less when at high altitude, even in a 'pressurised' airplane. Therefore the gas in drink is not as compressed, making the expulsion of the gas more rapid, through more and bigger bubbles

A mercury barometer is a 1 meter long glass tube with the top sealed and turned upside down in a bath of mercury the pressure on the surface of the bath of mercury lifts the level of the mercury in the tube dependent on atmospheric pressure.


Does airpressure increase or decrease as you go up?

Air pressure decreases as you go up in altitude. This is because the weight of the air above you decreases with height, leading to fewer air molecules and lower pressure. Consequently, as you ascend in elevation, there is less atmospheric pressure exerted on you.


Why boiling point of water at hilly area is lower than that at sea level?

The higher you climb up a mountain, the air pressure drops. With less air pressure on the surface of the water, it is easier for the top layer of water molecules to part off and become gas, hence the lower boiling point.
