How long does it take for an inflated basketball to lose air?

Depends on a lot of factors. Climate can effect how long a basketball holds its bounce. Really cold weather (below 50) will cause a basketball to loose it's bounce rather quickly. If stored at room temperature, a basketball should hold its bounce for around 3-6 months.


How does air pressure afftect the bounce of a basketball?

Pressure in a basketball is 2 sided. First you want the ball to react well when you bounce it so you do not become fatigued bouncing the ball. Second, you want the ball to be less reactive at the rim so it will stay there longer and perhaps fall in. The normal inflation pressure is from 7 to 9 pounds. Exceeding the pressure will cause the ball to loose its shape and fail prematurely; be less playable.

If a basketball is left outside all night in the winter what happens?

Depends on how cold you can get it. Most materials get more brittle when they get colder, and this also applies to a basketball.

But if you have access to liquid nitrogen, then a basket ball can be cooled to the point where it will shatter if dropped.
