no external pressure in space but bubble has internal pressure
due to this the internal pressure becomes so high compared to outer surrounding the bubble will explodes
this same phenomena happens with our body if we went into space without a space suit
Depends on what kind of bubble and which space your talking abaut
Surface tension would still exist in the bubble, so I believe that the bubble would still be able to contain some pressure, though less since nothing but surface tension would be in opposition, even against zero pressure on the exterior.
in English or for people who are not nerds it will keep expanding until it pops then evaporate due to no external air pressure in space
I must respectfully disagree, @Xx_Cassidy_xX.
External atmospheric pressure is not the only force that is pertinent. So even when external atmospheric pressure is absent, the other force or forces remain.
Surface tension is real. The bubble itself can resist tearing to some, possibly small, limit. Within the bounds of that limit, it could contain SOME internal pressure and hold that pressure in check.
Think of a spacecraft. A spacecraft does not keep expanding in space until it pops.
Some might respond, "oh silly Noflaps, of COURSE it doesn't, because it's, like, made of metal and, like, strong stuff."
Well, a bubble is not made out of metal and, like, strong stuff.
But it isn't made out of thin air, either. It, like a spacecraft, is a containment vehicle that DOES have walls that can resist expansion to a certain (admittedly small) extent.
So it should NOT pop automatically, either. It should be able to contain SOME expansion-creating internal pressure.
Perhaps not a lot, true. But more than zero.
Please feel free to respond (with a public tell -- I rarely respond to private tells, even from nice people).

@Noflaps I can see where you are coming from but I have to differ to your hypothesis it will pop due to the absence of atmospheric pressure. on earth the air pressure inside a bubble is balanced by external air pressure but in space, there isn't a external pressure to counterbalance the forces inside the bubble so it should pop almost immediately and evaporate and with metal the atoms are tight and wont pop like the bubble it would remain in a solid form due to strong bonds although they would be gradually eroded by space conditions like radiation exposure, thermal stress, meteoroid impacts, and orbital decay. i watch a lot of space documentaries to many x__x
I don't think the bubble will necessarily last forever. But neither will a space craft.
And neither should pop, even when surrounded by no atmospheric pressure in space, unless the contained pressure exceeds what its walls (bubbles are actually containers with walls) can maintain. And that internal pressure doesn't automatically keep increasing without bound. It is whatever is pumped in.
And pumping can be controlled or stopped and is! We don't blow up a bubble forever. We blow up a bubble until it gets big enough to suit us, or until it pops unexpectedly. It does not always pop, because we can choose to stop before it does, even in space. And the surrounding atmospheric pressure should just influence WHEN we have to stop. But even against no resisting external atmosphere, we should be able to at least start and then persist for a BIT.
A space craft can obviously hold considerably MORE internal pressure. But a bubble should be able to hold SOME. Indeed, we see them do that when we create them.
The most relevant academic disciplines, I believe, are Statics, Dynamics and Strength of Materials. I confess I am no stranger to any of the three. It takes learning to support a spaniel in the style to which a spaniel wishes to become accustomed.
in a bubble, the air/gas pressure keeps exceeding and there is no external pressure in space to stop that unlike Earth so in short the bubble would pop immediately
No, I apparently have not made myself clear enough yet.
The external pressure is NOT NOT NOT the only force opposing the bubble's (or the spacecraft's) internal pressure. The WALLS of the space craft and of the bubble come under tension when pushed from inside, and they ALSO can -- to a certain LIMIT of stress -- resist the internal pressure and keep from breaking.
A bubble is weaker than a spacecraft, obviously. But it doesn't have NO strength. It has SOME. A small amount. So it should be able to resist a SMALL amount of internal pressure. And that pressure does NOT have to be built up without limit. We can STOP BLOWING at any time we choose -- including BEFORE the bubble pops.
And that's true whether we are blowing in the front yard or in orbit around the moon!
Let me add that, regrettably, my previous education and experience were NOT in art history, as I would hope has become somewhat clear by now.
I am happy to see enthusiasm put into discussing a physics problem, however. It's refreshing and excellent to see that, so thanks for the responses.
