A suction cup is a device that adheres to a surface, typically made of a flexible material such as rubber or silicone. It functions based on the principle of atmospheric pressure. When the cup is pressed against a smooth surface, the air inside the cup is expelled, creating a partial vacuum. This vacuum generates a pressure difference between the inside of the cup and the outside environment, causing the cup to stick to the surface.
