Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?

Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain

Why is Irish weather so bad?
By bad you probably mean overcast and drizzly. Considering how far north Ireland is it's weather should be much worse. Ireland is the same latitude as Siberia but it is warmed by the Atlantic ocean. It's cold Arctic air mases meeting warm air mases from the Atlantic which cause Irelands dreary weather.
What happens to liquid oxygen when it is warmed?
When warmed, liquid oxygen changes to a gas for delivery to the patient.
Does temperature affect the maximum size that you can inflate a balloon?
When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.
What layer that is warmed from below by the ozone?
The ozone is present inside the ozone layer. The layer warmed below the ozone is the stratosphere or upper troposphere.
What is warmed by the heat from Earth's surface?
themosphere
How does hot air balloon stays up?
The air inside the balloon is heated with a propane burner. As air is warmed, it becomes less dense (lighter) and rises.

Do you become more tired playing sports in cold weather?
Yes you do, your muscles are not properly warmed up compared to hot weather and your breathing becomes shorter.

What is the whole world warmed at?
The whole world is warmed by the sun.
What is known as climate?
The temperature around us is weather. The temperature trends over years and a large area is climate. For example the weather may be cold today. The climate though has warmed almost 0.2 degrees in the past 150 years in this area.
When is a rattlesnake active?
A rattlesnake is most active once the Sun has risen and warmed the environment. In cold conditions, snakes are rather torpid and are unlikely to be very active.
Explain how radioactive decay has always warmed the earth from the inside and how nulear fusion has always warmed the earth from the outside?
The Earth's core contains many radioactive elements within its core that emit warmth as they decay, keeping the core of the Earth hot and heating it from within. Meanwhile, the sun is a product of the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium and its rays warm the Earth's crust from outside.
Where is inhaled air moistened and warmed?
Inhaled air is warmed and moistened in the nasopharynx and oropharynx.
Why do telephone wires become loose and sag in winter?
They shouldn't, usually it is the other way around. As with all wire, the temperature effects wire lengths. When wires become warm as in a hot summer day the wires expand and droop and likewise when they become cold as in winter they contract and tighten up. The wires have to be installed to take this condition into consideration. There is a specific engineered sag allowed for each type of conductor from pole fix point to pole fix point.
Why do hydrogen and helium get having very low temperatures warmed up instead of cooling in joule-thomson method?
There is for every gas a point called the inversion temperature. Above this temperature, the gas exhibits a reverse Joule-Thompson effect and warms on expansion instead of cooling. The inversion temperatures for hydrogen and helium are quite low compared to those of most other gases.
