Helium rises because it is less dense than the air. If it is less dense then it will rise above the air until it meets a gas lighter than it. There are other gases lighter than air. You should experiment with other gases inside balloons.
Less dense, or 'lighter than Air'.
A one liter balloon filled with Helium and placed on a weigh scale will weigh less than the same balloon filled with air.

What else can I help you with?
What do you blow up a balloon to make it fly?
Helium gas is typically used to fill balloons to make them float or fly. Helium is lighter than air, so it causes the balloon to rise due to the difference in density between the helium gas inside the balloon and the surrounding air.
Can you make a balloon fly without hot air or helium?
Yes, you can make a balloon fly using propellers or an electric motor to provide thrust. By attaching a propeller or motor to the balloon, you can create lift and propulsion to make it fly without the need for hot air or helium.
Is inside balloon solid liquid or a gas?
Inside a balloon there is gas. This gas is normally helium if you want the balloon to fly high, but hydrogen also works.
How do you make a balloon filled with air fly straight?
Put a straw in the end of it and blow into the balloon. That should make it fly straight although make sure you don't use helium and make sure there is as little of wind around as possible. From Matthew
Can you make a balloon that float in air?
Yes, a helium-filled balloon will float in the air because helium is less dense than the surrounding air. When filled with helium, the balloon experiences a buoyant force that causes it to rise and float.
What do you put in a balloon to make it fly?
Helium
Does helium help the balloon fly?
Yes, helium will help a balloon fly. Helium does not affect the direction that a balloon goes, but it will keep it in the air for quite some time.
What do you blow up a balloon to make it fly?
Helium gas is typically used to fill balloons to make them float or fly. Helium is lighter than air, so it causes the balloon to rise due to the difference in density between the helium gas inside the balloon and the surrounding air.
Which balloon would fly higher the one with helium or the one with air?
The balloon with helium.
Can you make a balloon fly without hot air or helium?
Yes, you can make a balloon fly using propellers or an electric motor to provide thrust. By attaching a propeller or motor to the balloon, you can create lift and propulsion to make it fly without the need for hot air or helium.
What makes a helium balloon fly?
A balloon filled with helium flies because helium weighs less than air.
How do balloon fly?
Balloons are filled with helium. Helium is a gas that can make light objects float, or make your voice all squeaky. So if you want to pee your pants laughing, go cut a small hole in a balloon and suck the helium out and then speak.
Can a balloon fly with nitrogen?
Yes, a balloon can fly with nitrogen, but it won't rise as high as one filled with helium. Nitrogen is less buoyant than helium because it is closer in density to air. While a nitrogen-filled balloon may float briefly, it will generally not achieve significant lift like a helium-filled balloon would.
Why do balloons fly with helium and not with normal human oxygen?
because helium is lighter than air,therefore, when letting go of the balloon it will fly up
Is inside balloon solid liquid or a gas?
Inside a balloon there is gas. This gas is normally helium if you want the balloon to fly high, but hydrogen also works.
How does helium make a balloon rise when air doesn'?
Helium is lighter than air. So helium balloon rises in air.
How do you make a balloon filled with air fly straight?
Put a straw in the end of it and blow into the balloon. That should make it fly straight although make sure you don't use helium and make sure there is as little of wind around as possible. From Matthew
