How high does a balloon go before it pops?

Well, it obviously depends on what type of balloon you have. There are rubber party balloons, mylar party balloons, and hot air balloons. Hot air balloons will not pop since they have holes in them, but I'm going to focus on rubber balloons here. These are very cheap and made with cheap rubber that can only hold about 2.5 liters of gas before popping. Now, let's assume that the man at the party store fills a balloon with 2 liters of helium before giving it to you. A mole of helium gas (22.4 Liters) only weighs four grams, so helium is less dense than the air around us, which explains its ability to float and why it makes your voice high. Anyway, the helium in the balloon will continue rising until the density around it is equal to its density, which will happen about 100 miles up in the exosphere. Anyway, down here at sea level, the pressure is normally 1 atmosphere. I did some math and determined that this helium will reach a volume of 2.5 liters at .8 atmoshperes of pressure. .8 atmospheres of pressure occur at about 8,500 feet up (about 1 and a half miles) in the air.


How high can a helium balloon go?

High enough, until it gets popped. So it can fly up forever. Unless, of course a bird flies into it, popping and sending it back to Earth. It will fly as high as it can until it runs out of air, or if it runs into a power line because when it runs into a power line, the current electricity will cause it to pop. There are also different reasons why the balloon will pop. The higher the balloon goes, the lower the atmospheric pressure will be, so the balloon will expand as if helium were being added. When it expands far enough, it will pop.

How do you pop your toes?

You push down as far as they will go, but not to far. If you hear a pop, you need to stop pushing down. If you heard a pop, way to go! But if your ties didn't pop, don't stress, it just wasn't ready for it. Try again tomorrow if didn't pop. But always remember, don't pop too much or when you get older you may get arthridious. Once or twice a day is PLENTY. Hope I answered you question!:)

How far can hot air balloons go?

It depends on the speed of the wind, the size of the balloon, and the amount of fuel carried. Hot air balloons have flown across the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans. However a typical flight will last about an hour and travel maybe 10 miles.
