A 30cm balloon (fairly standard party balloon) holds about 8 liters of helium at 1 atmosphere and weighs itself around 3 grams (latex) on earth. 8 Liters of Helium would weigh about 1.4 grams at 1g.

So a balloon would weigh in at 3 grams plus 1.4 grams times .16 (the gravity on the surface of the moon) or .7grams.

Of course, the whole experiment would be moot since lacking an atmosphere, your balloon would very instantly expand and burst once you exposed it to hard vacuum. But assuming your party balloon was made of some very SUPER latex, well then... there you go.

Alas, note also that even the super latex wouldn't help to make it fun, since, lacking any atmosphere to be bouyant in, even your very very light balloon would still drop like a rock at a little bit over five feet per second per second just like everything else on that airless world.

No, the pressure from the atmosphere would pop it before long.

Can you fill a basketball with helium?

Soccer balls do not contain helium. if they did, they would float like a balloon! Actually, that's not true. A soccer ball would NOT float like a balloon--they weigh too much. It would, however, increase the distance ever so slightly over that of a regular air filled soccer ball. Eventually over time, the helium would dissipate, much like a helium balloon that slowly falls to the ground.

Which gas inflates a balloon the longest carbon dioxide or helium and why?

Carbon dioxide will keep a balloon inflated longer than helium will, because its molecules are much larger and therefore less able to escape through the material of which the balloon is made.On the other hand, helium is much lighter so will give a balloon greater lift while it lasts.
