[ELI5] why does plugging one end of a straw not let the water out of the other end when held up?
In: 4
the weight of the water is trying to fall out of the straw, the weight of all the air in the atmosphere above you is pushing to get into the straw, as long as the straw is less than about 10 meters tall the air pushes the water in harder than the weight of the water pushes out
