Why are bubbles round?

Question

Was just cooking some pasta when the question struck me...lol

Answer 1

Imagine a pyramidal bubble. =)

Answer 2

Bubbles are round because nature always wants to take the shortest route, the least energy, and most compact form. Circles and spheres are the most compact forms in nature, so when things are made in nature, they tend toward those shapes.

Answer 3

Bubbles are round due to the way they of its original point of exit from its said location.

If it comes from a dish washing container you will notice it is round, so the bubbles will also be round.

there are wands that make not ONLY round bubbles but also square bubbles, triangle bubbles, rectangle bubbles ect. ect..

The most common bubble wands are round so in effect bubbles tend to come out round.

Answer 4

woahhhhhh never thought about

that...

i geuss it makes it cutier ;]]

Answer 5

The surface of the bubble is trying to press the bubble into the smallest size possible, but if it goes to small it will compress the air and the bubble will burst. So the surface presses into a shape that has the smallest surface area: a sphere!

Answer 6

It is the most efficient way of creating the most volume for the smallest surface area - It uses very little energy and is a relatively strong structure.

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

   Because air presses inwardly and outwardly equally.  

Answer 9

Bubbles surface is made up of liquid. Liquids have a property called surface tension due to which they tend to posses minimum surface area. And for a given volume spheres have minimum area. So bubbles are spherical.
