As long as the buoyancy due to a lighter gas inside the balloon is sufficient to offset the mass of the balloon (and any string). The gas will gradually diffuse out, through the skin of the balloon and so the balloon will slowly lose its buoyancy.

What kind of energy does a balloon floating in the air have than a boulder a the top of a cliff?
what kind of energy does afloating balloon have
What makes a balloon float on water?
The fact that the balloon is so light allows it to stay afloat,
When the balloon is floating high above the ground how could the balloonist make the balloon descend gradually?
the balloonist would turn off the burner, allowing the air inside the balloon to cool down. Hot air rises so as the air cools down the balloon will lose altitude.
How do you use buoyancy?
Buoyancy is what keeps a boat floating on the top of the water. Buoyancy is what makes a helium balloon float in the air.
How do fridge magnets stay on a fridge?
It stays on by a magic floating thing in the back
How long can a hot air balloon stay up?
As long as they have flue to heat the balloon.
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.
How many minute does a balloon rocket goes?
The question is not well-formed. Similar questions may include: How many minutes does a helium balloon stay aloft? How long does a hot air balloon stay aloft? How long does a particular rocket motor burn?
How would you describe the balloon when it is floating in the centre of the room?
floating front and center? (i think)
What is the gas in the balloons used for?
to keep the balloon floating
What part of speech is buoyant?
weightless, floating, unsinkable, afloat, airy, supernatant
What is the weight of an empty balloon?
There is no weight in an empty balloon. Empty balloons will not stay on the ground long enough to have any real weight.
Why does a balloon react to water by floating?
i don't know and i don't care
What kind of energy does a balloon floating in the air have than a boulder a the top of a cliff?
what kind of energy does afloating balloon have
When a van with closed doors containing helium balloon floating on it accelerates what happens to helium balloon?
It appears to move in the opposite direction to the motion of the van
Why do helium balloons shrink and stop floating?
Helium filled balloons stop floating because the helium leaks out. The balloon latex is porous and the helium is a very small atom and leaks out causing the balloon to lower and eventually stop floating.
When a balloon is filled with air is heated does the density of the air in the balloon stay the same?
No it decreases
