Liquids are virtually incompressible, and the contents are liquid, plus the shell of an egg is partly permeable to air, so the small amount of air inside expands and leaks out readily.

Low pressure with an egg?

When you place an egg in a low-pressure environment, such as at high altitudes or in a vacuum chamber, the air pressure outside the egg decreases. This causes the air pressure inside the egg to be higher, pushing the egg against the shell. As a result, the egg may expand slightly as the air inside expands.


How does an egg suck into a bottle when you put 3 matches in it?

The matches burn up the oxygen, removing it. This causes a vacuum, which pulls the egg in. Also the heat from the matches expand the air in the bottle. Once they have gone out, the air cools and contracts, causing a vacuum and pulling the egg in.


What is the purpose of egg in the bottle?

When the air cools it retracts creating a vacuum. The Vacuum then pulls the egg into the bottle. Since the vacuum acts equally across the surface of the egg, it is able to gently but quickly pull the egg through the opening without breaking it... most of the time.
