So imagine you are in a body of water: e.g a bath. You place a clear container in the water, like a jug, and fill it up. When you then invert the container and slowly rise it above the surface, why does the water stay inside the container until the container breaks the surface?

The athmosphere(the air around the world) has weight and it is constantly a pressure on us. We don’t notice it because we got used to it. When you put a container in water the pressure that pushes the water down will make the water go up in the container until the air in the container gets squeezed enough and pushes the water back and they find a balance.
