- The main reason why balloons pop boils down to two scientific concepts: stress and strain. In the world of science, stress is the force that’s applied to an object—in this case, the air pressure on the inside of the balloon. Strain, on the other hand, is the deformation or change in shape that the object undergoes due to the stress.

The high-pressure air that was inside the balloon is now free to expand and this creates a pressure wave that our ears hear as a bang. If you put a piece of sticky tape on the balloon first and then push the pin through that, the balloon doesn’t go bang.

A balloon pops when the material that makes up its surface tears or shreds, creating a hole. [1][2] Normally, there is a balance of the balloon skin's elastic tension in which every point on the balloon's surface is being pulled by the material surrounding it.
Nov 25, 2015 · Have you ever wondered what happens when you pop a balloon? Scientists have found out that there are two different ways that they can pop.
