...following on from ColJack's post.

Can anyone work out why bubbles form on the inside of a glass of water if it is left overnight?

In your own words please...

My knowledge on this subject, is that which I have learned in the last hour or so.
It would not be right of me to assume any expertise in this field.
But I will keep on learning, until the day I die.

So if you are asking for "original" thought on this subject, I have none.


You asked ..... I googled ..... I read ..... I learned......

I was thinking the air in the water became less soluble as the water cooled down overnight, so air came out of the solution and bubbles appeared.
