hot air rises up
They move with the wind
force
When a balloon floats towards you, it means that the air inside the balloon is less dense than the air surrounding it, causing it to rise and move in your direction.
Hot air balloons move forward by changing altitude to catch the wind blowing in different directions at various altitudes. By adjusting their altitude, pilots can steer the balloon towards their desired direction. The movement is controlled by the pilot using burner and venting techniques to navigate and steer the balloon.
A balloon moves towards a wall due to the higher pressure of the surrounding air pushing it towards the surface. This pressure difference creates a force that causes the balloon to be drawn towards the wall.
If the balloon is exhausting air, then it will move in a direction opposite to the exhaust gas.
When a balloon follows you, it typically means that it is being carried by air currents or wind in your direction. This can create the illusion that the balloon is following you as you move.
An air balloon rises due to the hot air inside it being lighter than the cooler air outside. By controlling the temperature of the air inside with a burner, the balloon can go up or down. To move horizontally, the balloon must catch wind currents and navigate by ascending or descending to find different wind directions at various altitudes.
The forces acting on a hot air balloon are lift, weight, thrust (provided by wind), and drag. Lift is generated by the heated air inside the balloon being lighter than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise. Weight is the force of gravity pulling the balloon downward. Thrust is the horizontal force provided by wind to move the balloon in a certain direction, and drag is the resistance the balloon encounters as it moves through the air.
The pilot of a hot air balloon uses the burners to move in different directions. Some of the air is moving east, while some of the air is moving west. The pilot of the balloon will either deflate or inflate the balloon to catch the wind in a particular direction.
Wind often moves in different directions at different heights. By altering your height, you can move into an air-current moving in the direction you wish to go. Also, "Steering, what steering? This is a hot-air balloon o.O"
a hot airballon heats up the air inside of it which makes it less dense then the colder air around it causing it to have lift but the only movement that they can really control is up and down the rest depends on the air currents
