When an empty plastic bottle is left open to the atmosphere the air pressure outside and inside the bottle are in equilibrium (does not always mean they are equal, but in this case they are equal). This means that whatever force exerted by the atmosphere on the outside of the bottle is balanced by a force from the inside of the bottle. When one sucks the air out of the bottle one removes the source of pressure and forces within the bottle. The pressure differential between air outside and inside bottle is enough to cause the bottle to collapse.
Note that this will not happen so easily with glass bottles because even when one tries to suck all the air out of them, they also experience a tendency to collapse, but their structure is strong enough to withstand the pressure differences.

What happens if you take all the air out of bottle?
It will become vacuum sealed, and opening the bottle will cause a sudden release of low pressure, where higher pressure air from it's surroundings is 'sucked' into the bottle, equalizing the pressure.
Why does an empty sealed bottle collapse with altitude?
Actually, an empty sealed bottle should expand slightly as altitude increases. At the altitude where the bottle is sealed, the air pressure outside the bottle is equal to the air pressure inside the bottle. When the bottle is transported to a higher altitude, the air pressure inside the bottle is greater than the air pressure outside the bottle (In other words: There are more air molecules per unit volume inside the bottle than outside). The increased air pressure inside the bottle relative to the outside pressure causes the bottle to expand slightly. An empty bottle would not collapse as altitude increases.
What happens when you put a plastic bottle of water into the freezer?
The water will turn to Ice. The act of freezing the water causes it to expand in volume. As a result the plastic bottle will swell and deform slightly but it will not burst or break. A glass bottle When we put a plastic bottle in the freezer it contracts, whereas when we put water it dilates. So while the plastic bottle contracts and the water dilates so the bottle eventually contracts.
Why do water droplets form outside the bottle?
Condensation - The surface of the bottle and the air just above it will be cool enough to allow condensation of the water vapor in the air onto the bottle's surface.
Is an empty bottle really empty?
Where is the bottle? There are droplets so it is not empty. An empty bottle is empty of liquid conent but it will have air in it.
What will happen to the bottle if air is being sucked out?
It will implode.
Can you get a raw egg sucked into a bottle?
Yes, place a flame (match, candle, etc) inside the bottle, then quickly place an egg on top. As the air in the bottle burns, the pressure will drop and the egg will be sucked into the bottle.
What will happen to the bottle if the air pressure inside the bottle sucked out?
With less gas inside the bottle, it will weigh less. But not by very much, for the mass of the volume of air is slight. If he bottle is evacuated, then its shape will change slightly - but once again, a small amount. If the bottle is fragile, it may collapse. This would be expected for a plastic bottle, such as a soft drink bottle.
Why would a bottle implode from hot to cold?
A bottle can implode when subjected to a sudden change in temperature from hot to cold because the air inside the bottle contracts rapidly, creating a vacuum which collapses the bottle. The external pressure remains constant while the internal pressure decreases, causing the bottle to implode.
What ketchup sucked a tomato into the bottle?
Hunt's Ketchup
Why is the univervs being crushed under the vacuum like when you drink out of a bottle it goes a funny shape why isn't that happening to the universe?
When you suck the air out of a bottle, it collapses because the air all around it is pressing on it from the outside. There's nothing all around the universe to press on it from the outside.
Can an egg get sucked into a bottle?

How you can put an egg in a bottle?
One way to put an egg in a bottle is to light a match inside the bottle, quickly place a peeled hard-boiled egg on top of the bottle opening, and watch as the egg gets sucked into the bottle due to the change in air pressure when the match goes out.
What is the dependent variable of the experiment egg in a bottle?
Oh, dude, the dependent variable in the egg in a bottle experiment is the volume of air inside the bottle. It's like the thing that changes based on what you do to the egg and the bottle. So, if the egg gets sucked into the bottle, it's because of that variable, not because the egg wanted to take a vacation in there.
How does the oxygen being burned in a bottle create vacuum that sucks an egg in?
because there is is a pressure difference between the inside of the bottle and the outside. the pressure is lower in the bottle the egg gets sucked in. when the oxygen is burned there is less matter in the bottle then at first and that results in less pressure[vacuum]
Why does the balloon go inside the bottle when you light a piece of paper on fire?
The oxygen is taken out of the bottle so it gets sucked in.
Why would a tightly closed empty water bottle crush itself?
This answer presumes that "empty" means the bottle has no water in it, but does have air in it.In this case the bottle would collapse (or partly collapse) if the temperature inside the bottle dropped to a lower temperature causing the air inside to shrink, or if the bottle was taken to a place of higher air pressure (such as taking the bottle from a mountain peak to the base of the mountain.The bottle would also collapse at some point of evacuation if "empty" means the bottle was evacuated of water and air. The point of collapse, in this case, would depend on the physical construction of the bottle - ie, whether it was made of steel, plastic or glass
