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.
Would a suction cup work in a vacuum?
Yes, a suction cup would not work in a vacuum because there is no air pressure to create the necessary force for the suction cup to adhere to a surface. Without air pressure to push against, the suction cup cannot create the vacuum required to stay attached.
How can I securely attach an object to a rough surface using a suction cup?
To securely attach an object to a rough surface using a suction cup, first clean the surface and the suction cup thoroughly. Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly or water to the rim of the suction cup to create a better seal. Press the suction cup firmly onto the surface and make sure it is securely attached before placing the object on it.
Why does a suction cup stick to a window?
A suction cup sticks to a window because the air inside the cup is removed, creating a partial vacuum. This difference in air pressure between the inside of the cup and the outside atmosphere creates a force that holds the cup in place against the window.
How do you remove a suction cup?
To remove a suction cup, gently pull one side to release the seal created against the surface. Avoid pulling too forcefully to prevent damaging the suction cup or the surface it is attached to. If necessary, you can also use a blunt object to help pry the suction cup away from the surface.

The suction cup may not be sticking because there could be air trapped underneath it, the surface may be dirty or uneven, or the suction cup itself may be damaged or not creating a proper seal.
Why won't the suction cup stick to the surface?
The suction cup won't stick to the surface because there may be air trapped between the cup and the surface, preventing a vacuum seal from forming. This lack of suction makes it difficult for the cup to adhere securely.
