Like if you open a bottle of soda, and the lack of gravity will cause it to like float out, with the movement of it floating around cause it to became flat?

The bubbles of carbon dioxide in carbonated beverages aren't buoyant in a weightless environment, so they remain randomly distributed throughout the fluid, even after swallowing. This means that carbonated beverages including soft drinks and beer may become a foamy mess during space travel.

Hi. Without gravity the liquid would turn to foam (the bubbles would not rise). That leaves pressure, not gravity, to hold the gas in solution. Open the can or bottle, foam comes out.

no, it would take longer to get flat
gravity pushes down on the pop, causing the air (carbonation) to be forced out. This is what makes pop flat. Without gravity, there would be no force pushing the carbonation out of the pop. Therefore it would take longer to get flat.

Is this a trick question?
Try opening a bottle of carbonated anything in a weightless environment and watch what happens.

no, its due more to the pressure gradient between soda and the atmosphere.

it's water pressure, and air pressure outside the liquid, not graivty.
