Solution

A drinking straw is a long plastic or paper tube through which a drink is drunk by suction. Drinking straw decreases pressure inside the container. When air is sucked out of a drinking straw,the air pressure inside it decreases and the atmospheric pressure out side forces the liquid to go inside the straw.
But it is not possible in other planets. In the absence of atmospheric pressure, juice is never sucked through straw into mouth.
