Best Answer

Hot air balloons heat up contained air so that the density of it becomes significantly less than the outside air and thus the container (balloon) will rise of float in the surrounding air until the density difference is null. Buoyancy is just that, less dense substances floating or rising in more dense substances. The other approach is saying more dense substances sink in less dense substance.
