Glass with water and card

Tags

The card remains attached to the rim of the glass and does not allow the water to flow out is due to Atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is the force that holds the card in place. The card stays on the upside-down glass because the pressure of the air molecules pushing up on the card is greater than the weight of the water pushing down.
