Air pressure. If you suck, the air pressure of the surrounding air is greater than the pressure inside the straw.

How can you made your own homemade Thermometer?
To make your own homemade thermometer, a person will need a plastic bottle, a clear straw, some putty, water, rubbing alcohol, and food coloring. Fill a quater of the bottle with equal parts water and rubbing alcohol. Add a few drops of food coloring to help see the change in temperature. Place the straw in the bottle and seal the top completely with the putty, making sure the bottom of the straw does not touch the bottom of the bottle. The liquid will rise and fall through the straw when the temperature changes.

How does air pressure help drinking through a straw?
when you drink through a straw you remove some of the air in the straw. Because there is less air pressure of the straw is reduced. But the atmospheric pressure on the surface of the liquid.

What special things do butterfly have?

What happens when you drink through a straw?
This question points up some key misconceptions about what a vacuum is.So you put a straw in your cup of water. If you look down the straw or could look through it, you would see that the level of water inside and outside the straw are exactly the same. This is because the atmosphere is pushing down on the water inside the straw, and it is pushing down equally hard on the water outside the straw. So the pressures are equal.When you suck on the straw, you are decreasing the pressure in your mouth and lowering the pressure of the air in the top of the straw. When that happens, the force of the atmosphere pushing on the water in the glass is higher than the force of gas inside the straw. The atmosphere forces the liquid up the straw into your mouth. So, in essence, you ARE NOT sucking the liquid into your mouth, the atmosphere is pushing it there.This is easily proved by an experiment. Try drinking water from a straw that is more than 20 meters tall. It won't work. At around 20 meters, the massive column of water inside the straw would be pulled down by gravity, with a force greater than the upward force caused by the atmosphere. Even if you completely evacuate the straw with a high-powered pump the water won't make it up the straw. This is why you can't pump water out of a well that is more than 20 meters deep in the ground. Anything deeper than that and you need to use a compressor to pump air at high pressure down into the well, to force the water out (essentially make the upward pressure higher than the atmosphere alone provides), or revert to the tried and true method using buckets.Of course, a similar principle applies with underground or artesian wells. The water there is already under greater pressure and will flow to the surface if given a path.
