To produce the 'hot air' that goes inside the balloon to make it fly.
fire
no its filled with hot air from a fire that is lit underneath the balloon.
Because the fire or heating device heats the air in the top section ( the actual balloon ) and hot air rises... so the hot air trapped in the balloon makes the balloon rise :)
The fire warms up the air and the air becomes less dense. So the balloon traps the warm air and since less dense gases rise with denser gasses around it, the warm air rises taking the balloon with it.

It gets super hot in the hot air balloon because of the fire above to make it fly
Hot air rises and the fire in the hot air balloon wants to go up and float in the air and since it's can't escape the balloon the fire just brings the balloon with it to float in the air

When did they make hot air balloons, and when did they make fire? There you go. Oh Look. An Answer. Pay me in advance Fool.
There are actually a number of ways to make a balloon lift, without helium. Hydrogen is even less dense than helium (but has the disadvantage of also being highly flammable). And since hot air is less dense than cooler air, you can lift a balloon just by heating air. Since hot air is less expensive than either helium or hydrogen, that is a popular technique.
The hot air from the fire pushes the balloon up, and putting out the fire makes it go down again :)
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
I think the hotter the fire is ( I'm not really sure on how to make fire hotter! :) sorry!) the higher the balloon goes. because hot air rises and so it seems right that if the air is hotter it will rise higher. if you are reading this answer then, you rock!!
