What is inside the inflated balloon?
Helium goes into a balloon to make it float.
Why does a balloon float in air?
A balloon floats in the air when the molecules inside the balloon are less dense. The gas inside a helium balloon is in essence "lighter" than the air around it, causing a buoyancy effect which makes the balloon float. This can also be seen in hot air balloons when the air molecules are heated by the propane torch and excited, thus creating a less dense environment inside of the balloon compared to outside of the balloon.
Does a balloon float or sink on water and why?
a balloon float on water
Explain in terms of density and Charles's law why heating the air allows a hot-air balloon to float?
i dont know this is my question
How does a hot air balloon float even though it is so heavy?
Well the basic answer is that when the balloon is 'floating' it is not heavy. The hot air inside the balloon is less dense and therefore lighter than the ambient air. The hotter it is, the lighter it is. When the weight loss of the air inside the balloon is equivalent to the weight of the balloon and equipment, passengers, etc., then it will float. The weight reduction of heated air is quite small which is why balloons have to be so big.

Does a helium balloon float with anything inside?
Helium
What can you say about the gas inside a balloon?
The gas inside of a balloon is less dense than the air outside of it if the balloon floats. If the balloon does not float the density of the gas inside of it is equal to or more dense than that around it.

Is the air inside balloon higher or lower then the outside air?
lower so it can float. guessing.

Why do balloons filled with air not float?
Because air is not as dense as helium filed gallons so they won't float

Why inside balloon is a gas?
Its filled with gas because certain gases(Helium, Hydrogen) are lighter than air so they float. That's why the balloon floats.

What happens to a hot air balloon that allows it to float through the air?
Air inside the balloon is heated. Hot air is less dense than the surrounding air, and thus the balloon rises.
