hot water bath has a higher rate of evaporation than cold water, water vapor makes the medium (air) surrounding the bubble surface more humid thus reducing evaporation of the water content of the bubble surface.

If you want to make you bubbles last longer, just add glycerin! The thickness of the glycerin makes the bubble strong and helps it last longer than a normal soap bubble will.

This website tells you how to make the bubbles and gives you one great science fair project!!

adding soap to water weakens the pull of the surface tension, and makes the surface of the water much stretchier. It spreads out enough for you to blow air inside- it's ability like blowing balloons up with water-thanks for reading loolx

it makes more bubbles in soap water because of the different ingredients. for example good SOAP makes lots of bubbles! useless soap makes no bubbles, because the good soap has better ingredients, so soap water must have some kind of ingrediant they use in soap and that's why it makes more bubbles.

It is to do with surface tension. Water has a certain surface tension caused by the bonding between water molecules. This surface tension can be observed when we see dust floating on the surface of water rather than sinking or small insects skipping across the surface of water. Bubbles of air have to overcome the surface tension to exist. Generally, water bubbles do not last as the water molecules get pulled back to the surface. Soap lowers the surface tension of the water, therefore, bubbles can form.

Because soapy water creates a thin film which can trap air inside of it.
