The carbon dioxide is dissolved in the soda under pressure in the bottle, (a liquid will dissolve a larger amount of gas under elevated pressure than at atmospheric pressure) when the extra pressure is released by opening, some of the carbon dioxide comes out of solution because you have reduced the pressure.

Inside a bottle of soda there is dissolved an acid called carbonic acid. CO(OH)2. When you open the bottle, CO(OH)2 decomposes and releases carbon dioxide gas CO2 and leave water H20 in the beverage. Hence you see bubbles of CO2 gas.

this is the stress interior the bottle that keeps the bubbles interior the bottle (they are carbon dioxide) This stress keeps them interior the liquid sorta dissolved. once you open the bottle there is plenty much less stress and the air interior the hollow of the precise of the bottle is released. This leaves room for the carbon dioxide to bubble out besides.

The carbinated drink turns to carbon dioxide gas, forming bubles within the bottle. This change requires energy to do so, which can be easily obtained from either the heat from your hand or the heat from light that may be striking the bottle.
