∙ 13y agoDepends on the quality of the balloon. Inexpensive party balloons generally degrade with heat over time. Inexpensive balloons may also be more flexible up to a certain point if they are warmed. Balloons are porous and lose gas slowly through the gaps between the molecules of latex/plastic. If you inflate a balloon and then put it in the freezer it will shrink due to the gas particles occupying less volume at colder temperatures but the same pressure.
Temperature affects the size that the balloon will be once inflated but it does not affect the maximum size that the balloon can be inflated, that depends on quality and material of the balloon.

∙ 12y agoThe maximum size of a balloon would be determined by how much pressure the material which the balloon is made of can take before it ruptures. Keep in mind that materials that balloons are made from tend to become somewhat weaker as they get warmer but also become less flexible when they get colder. There will be a point somewhere between "cold" and "hot" where the balloon material will reach maximum elasticity before becoming to weak to retain integrity when stretched to its limit.
However, if the balloon were already filled and sealed, if you heated the balloon, the gas inside of it would expand, and the balloon therefore would enlarge.
The affect of temperature on gas can be explained by the Ideal Gas Law.

Does the temperature affect the maximum size you can inflate a balloon?
yes, because the cooler it gets the slower the particles go in a balloon, so it gets smaller.
Would throwing a balloon in the air increase the pressure of gas?
The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure and vice versa. When the temperature rises the gas molecules move faster and hit the balloon more often and with more energy.
How does currents wind and how far from the equator you are affect climate?
High temperature is the maximum temperature that could eb reached for the day and the low temperature the average lowest temperature that is likely fo the day
How has Robert Boyle's Law affect our daily lives?
We use his law in everyday life use to inflate a balloon,poping abubble, pumping up a bicycle tire, breathing, filling cheeks up with air, and leting the gas that is air out of are fully filled mouth.
How does water temperature affect water salinity?
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
Does the temperature affect the maximum size you can inflate a balloon?
yes, because the cooler it gets the slower the particles go in a balloon, so it gets smaller.
Does cold weather affect maximum balloon inflation size?
yes
Does the water temperature affect how fast the balloon fills up?
No
Will a difference in air temperature affect the size of a balloon?
Yes
How does temperature affect the gas in a balloon?
Heat expands the gas (any gas) and makes the balloon rise.
Would throwing a balloon in the air increase the pressure of gas?
The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure and vice versa. When the temperature rises the gas molecules move faster and hit the balloon more often and with more energy.
how does temperature affect the size of-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.

How does temperature affect helium?
temperature affects helium for example, if you put a balloon in a hot car it will pop
How does changing the temperature of the gas inside a balloon affect the pressure inside the balloon?
The higher the temperature, the higher the pressure and vice versa. When the temperature rises the gas molecules move faster and hit the balloon more often and with more energy.
How hot and cold temperature affect air balloon?
When the balloon is hot the density of the air in it decreases and hence the upward thrust on the balloon increases and the balloon moves up and viceversa.
How does air temperature affect the air in a balloon?
The warmer air is, the faster molecules in the air vibrate, so it makes the balloon bigger. But if you were to take that balloon and freeze it, it would shrink to a third of the size.
