Can a air balloon float in the atmosphere of mars?

NASA is thinking it can.


Can a hot air balloon float up to the moon?

No, because the atmosphere would pop the balloon.


Why doesnt a balloon float with your air?

The air from your lungs has the same density as the air in our atmosphere. As a result a balloon inflated by a human using their lungs is unable to float.


Could you use helium to float an item into space?

No, air pressure increases as the balloon goes up, so the balloon will pop and fall to the ground. You can get high up in the atmosphere (but you need a LOT of helium and a balloon that can get VERY big) you will not reach "outer" space beyond the Earth's atmosphere.


Why does a helium-filled balloon rise to a certain altitude in the atmosphere and float there instead of rising further?

the reason is that as the balloon gradually goes up the density of air in the upper atmosphere decreases


How does a hot air balloon float with people in it?

Just the density difference between the balloon and surrounding atmosphere is so great that the balloon is able to lift itself and people.


Why do bigger balloons take longer to fall?

Because the air in the balloon make it float in the atmosphere.


Can a lead balloon float?

No... it wouldn't even survive the conditions of the upper atmosphere, unless it was a very tough balloon.. even if it could I'm assuming eventually the atmosphere would reduce to a point where it was as dense as helium or hydrogen (the gas I'm assuming would make your balloon float) and your balloon would stop anyway at a maximum altitude. Either way.. after that, the balloon would have to break away from Earth's gravity (not easy) and then somehow cover 382500km or so to get to the Moon itself..


Does a balloon float or sink on water and why?

a balloon float on water


Can you make a balloon that float in air?

Fill a balloon part way with helium, make an animal out of it and have it float.


Why can't a hot air balloon float in outer space?

The key word there is float. There is nothing in space for a hot air balloon to float on.


Will CO2 make a balloon float?

Yes it will, if it's inside the balloon and hot enough.It actually won't. CO2 is a heavier gas than Earth's atmosphere, so it will sink. Think about it- we breathe out carbon dioxide, and balloons we blow up the normal way don't float.
