What is used in a hot air balloon?
Hydrogen is used. Sorry. Just regular air is used in a hot air balloon, it is heated which makes it lighter and less dense and therefore provide lift. Hence the name hot air balloon. Hydrogen is used in a gas balloon.
Which gas did Jacques Charles discover could be used as the source of hot air for a hot air balloon's envelope?
hydrogen
Why is hydrogen used to inflate hot air balloons?
Hydrogen is not used to inflate hot air balloons. Just regular air is used which is then heated to make the balloon more buoyant as hot air weighs less than cold air. Hence the name hot air balloons.
Which gas is used to fill a hot air balloon?
A typical hot air balloon is filled with the same air we breath.
Is a blimp a type of hot air balloon?
No, it is a gas balloon. It relies on lighter than air gases (helium or hydrogen) to provide buoyancy.

Is there more helium or hydrogen in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon doesn't contain helium or hydrogen.
Why do hot air balloons use hydrogen?
'Hot air' balloons don't use hydrogen. They use hot air. Balloons that use hydrogen are not referred to as 'hot air' balloons. The only balloons that can accurately be referred to as 'hot air' balloons are the members of the balloon population that derive their lift/buoyancy from the presence of hot air. Of course, if a balloon used no hot air, then it could freely be referred to as a 'hydrogen' balloon, a 'helium' balloon, a 'water' balloon, etc., depending in congruent harmony with the nature of whatever substance had been chosen with which to inflate it it in order to maintain its fulsome shape.

Can a hot air balloon be powered by hydrogen?
If the balloon were lofted by hydrogen, it would not be a "hot air" balloon, as no heat would be needed. Indeed, to get even a spark near the hydrogen would be for the balloon to go up in a huge fireball. Hydrogen was abandoned as a lift gas for lighter -than-air craft in the 1930's, exactly for that reason.
What type of gas is used in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is normally powered with propane. Other than that, it is just ordinary air used inside the balloon.
Which gas is used to fill a hot air balloon?
A typical hot air balloon is filled with the same air we breath.
How does a hot air balloon stays in the air?
A hot air balloon can stay in the air because the hot air is less dense than cool air. The hot air that is blown into the balloon causes it to rise and a burner is used to heat the air inside of the balloon to keep it floating.
Is a blimp a type of hot air balloon?
No, it is a gas balloon. It relies on lighter than air gases (helium or hydrogen) to provide buoyancy.
What gases lift a balloon into the air?
Anything less dense than air (hydrogen, helium, hot air).
Who made the first hot air balloon?
The Montgolfier brothers Joesph and Michael made the first manned hot air balloon but the Robert brothers and Jacques Charles made the first manned hydrogen balloon
