How does an inflated balloon rise in the air?

When an inflated balloon is released, the air inside it is less dense than the surrounding air, causing it to float upwards. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where objects that are less dense than the air around them will float. The air trapped in the balloon makes it less dense, allowing it to rise.
