Why are suction cups more effective on smooth surfaces than on rough surfaces?

Because rough surfaces prevent the edges of the suction cup from creating a seal, which a suction cup needs to function.

Why do suction cup stick to wet surfaces better than dry surfaces?
No. How well a suction cup sticks to a surface has to do with how will a seal can be formed on the surface. Rough surfaces will not form good seals compared to smooth surfaces which means that suction cups will not stick as well to rough surfaces as they do to smooth surfaces.
Is friction greater with rough or smooth surfaces?
Smooth
Why is friction least effected by smooth surfaces?
Smooth vs. Rough surfaces. Rough surfaces have more surface area than smooth surfaces. This means that there are increased incidences of molecular reactions between the surface and object
Is friction greater when two rough surfaces are rubbed together or two smooth surfaces?
two rough surfaces
Why does light reflect better off of smooth surfaces than rough surfaces?
smooth surface
What produces more heat rough surface and a smooth or surface two smooth surfaces or two rough surfaces or two surfaces with oil between them?
two rough ones - there will be more friction xx
Why does rough surfaces have more friction compared to smooth surfaces?

Are rough surfaces have more friction than smooth surfaces?
True.
Is the amount of friction greater between rough surfaces or smooth and Why?
Rough surfaces, the rougher the surface, the greater the friction.
Is friction greater when two rough surface are rubbed together or two smooth surfaces?
two rough surfaces :)
Why do rough surfaces slow down sliding more than smooth surfaces?
rough surfaces take more energy from the system in the form of friction
What happens when you try to stick a suction cup on a rough surface Why?
as we know that suction pump stick on a smooth non-porous surface but rough surface contains pores due to which suction pump is not able to maintain grip with the rough surface.
