Hot air is lighter than cold air, so cold air sinks and hot air rises; that makes the hot air balloon rise (if the air around the hot air balloon is heated as well, it won't rise, or sink if in the air).


Why would heating the gas in balloon make the balloon rise?

if you mean how the hot air in a hot air balloon makes it rise, its because hot air is less dense than cold air. when cold and hot air meet the cold air sinks thus making hot air left to rise.so when you put hot air in a balloon the air would rise. hope this helps.
