Because the melting point of the plastic used to make the bottle is lower than the temperature of the water that you have put in it.
Plastic bottles are 'blow molded'. Basically air is forced inside a small piece of hot plastic and it expands like a balloon, except that this 'balloon' is inside a form or mold in the shape of the bottle. It is cooled and the bottle shape stays. If the softening point of the bottle is lower than the hot liquid poured in, then the plastic 'balloon' wants to shrink again.

Can a glass water pipe get hot enough to melt plastic with a BIC lighter?
It is unlikely for a glass water pipe to get hot enough to melt plastic with just a BIC lighter. Glass has a high melting point and requires more intense heat to melt compared to plastic. However, caution should always be exercised when heating glass with a flame to avoid any potential damage or injury.
What are different types of water bottle's?
Some common types of water bottles include stainless steel, glass, plastic, and insulated bottles. Stainless steel bottles are durable and keep drinks cold/hot for longer periods. Glass bottles are better for taste and do not retain odors. Plastic bottles are lightweight and economical, while insulated bottles maintain the temperature of liquids for extended periods.
Would ice cubes melt in hot water first or will the ice cubes freeze the water first?
If you put ice cubes in a bowl or whatever of hot water, the ice cube is sure to melt when put so says science.
Will a water bottle change its shape when filled with hot water?
Yes, a water bottle made of certain materials like plastic may change its shape when filled with hot water due to the expansion of the material. It is advisable to use bottles specifically designed for hot liquids to prevent deformation or leaching of harmful chemicals.
What happens when you put a filled plastic water bottle in an open fire?
In the first place the water in the bottle would keep the temperature of the plastic down preventing it from burning and leaking, The same as you would do by boiling water over a flame in a paper cup, However the water in the bottle would heat up and eventually the pressure inside the bottle would burst it like a balloon.
What happens if hot water inside the plastic bottle?
Heating a plastic bottle with hot water can cause chemicals to leach from the plastic into the water, potentially contaminating it. This can be harmful if these chemicals are consumed. It is generally not recommended to heat plastic bottles as a safety precaution.
Can you sterilise baby bottles with boiling water?
That's the only way to sterilise baby bottles! Just make sure that the water is not too hot cause some bottles may melt.
How can I effectively sanitize plastic water bottles?
To effectively sanitize plastic water bottles, wash them with hot, soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Then, soak the bottles in a mixture of water and bleach for a few minutes before rinsing again. Allow the bottles to air dry completely before using them again.

How long does it take to melt plastic?
The time it takes to melt plastic can vary depending on the type of plastic, its thickness, and the temperature it is exposed to. Generally, it can take a few minutes to melt thin plastic items like straws or plastic bags, while thicker plastics like water bottles or containers can take longer. Heat from a flame, hot surface, or microwave can expedite the melting process.
Does temperature effect plastic?
yes, temperature does effect plastic if it gets to hot it can melt it.
