Why Would a hot air balloon pilot heat or cool the air in the balloon to make it rise?

Heating the air makes less air take up the same space, so the air inside the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air. The pilot turns off the burner to help the balloon to maintain the current altitude or to descend.


What gas is used for a hot airballoon?

I am fairly sure that hot air balloons use normal air. They rely more on the idea of bouyancy rather than using specal gases, such as helium. The hot air inside of the balloon is more bouyant than the cold air outside of the balloon. So that makes the balloon ascend till the temperature of the air inside of the balloon is equal to the temperature of the air outside of the balloon. Then as the air inside the balloon gets colder, the balloon starts to descend.
