Why is it easier to hold in a fart than a burp?

It seems like you can indefinitely hold in a fart but yet a burp seems to always want to force its way out. It is very hard to hold in.

    Buoyancy makes air want to go up. Your mouth farts want to go up while your butt burps also want to go up, but need to go down

    Because your throat is a lot shorter than your intestines.

    Perhaps your sphincter is more disciplined than your esophagus
