ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Internal pressure

Internal pressure is like when you blow up a balloon. When you hold the balloon, it's puffy and full of air. But if you pop the balloon with something sharp, it makes a loud noise and the air rushes out. This is because the air inside the balloon was under pressure from you blowing into it.

Inside other things, like soda cans or your body, there can also be pressure from things like gases or liquids. If there's too much pressure inside something, it can burst or explode like the balloon. This is why it's important to keep things like gas tanks and pressure cookers safe and properly maintained.

So, internal pressure is like the pushing force from the air, gas or liquid inside an object that can cause it to burst or explode if it gets too high.
