Stability
The things that effect the lifetime of a bubble are usually limited to:
- Drainage
- Evaporation
- Contact
Drainage is a process that occurs inside the bubble, when the water that forms the bubble is pulled down due to gravity, which reduces the thickness of the wall at the top of the bubble and will eventually cause it to rupture. This can be addressed by increasing the amount of soap in the bubble solution, which increases the viscosity and prolongs the life of the bubble.
Evaporation occurs when the wall of the bubble evaporates into the surrounding environment. This can be avoided by blowing bubbles in a humid environment, or by adding sugar to the solution, which greatly increases the viscosity of the bubble solution and does not evaporate.

Bubbles pop when they come into contact with other objects, usually because the objects have some dirt or fat on them which is incompatible with the continuity of the bubble's wall. This can be fixed by coating everything the bubble may contact with the same bubble solution.
