Does the size of the air balloon matter when its up in the air?
Yes it does. The size of the balloon determines how much volume of gas can be held in it.
Why does a hot air balloon need flame in order to take off?
A Balloon needs hot air to rise, the flame, which is gas burning, heats up the air in the balloon. As Hot air rises above cooler air the balloon takes off.
Height of a hot air balloon?
the height depends on how much gas the burner is releasing/using. Do you know how much, and also do you know how heavy the hot air balloon is?
Why does the air change the shape and size of the balloon?
Because the air is coming inside the balloon.
What gas is in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is inflated with air and then heated by a propane fueled burner. The balloon contains air andthe products of combustion of propane, namely carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, and steam, which is much lighter than air.
How much gas goes into a hot air balloon?
Alot

Why does air in a balloon take up all the space in the balloon?
It's a gas. The air molecules are free to move around anywhere in the balloon.
Why does a hot air balloon need flame in order to take off?
A Balloon needs hot air to rise, the flame, which is gas burning, heats up the air in the balloon. As Hot air rises above cooler air the balloon takes off.
If a balloon filled with an unknown gas floats in the air then what can be said about the gas in the balloon?
The gas in the balloon is lighter than air. It has a specific gravity relative to air of less tha one.
Height of a hot air balloon?
the height depends on how much gas the burner is releasing/using. Do you know how much, and also do you know how heavy the hot air balloon is?
How far can a hot air balloon travel?
A average hot air balloon can travel around 25 miles. But it all depends on how big it is and how much gas you have
Why does the air change the shape and size of the balloon?
Because the air is coming inside the balloon.
How much wight can one balloon hold?
It all depends on the size of the balloon AND on the lifting gas (hydrogen, helium, hot air).

Why would heating the gas in a hot air balloon make the balloon rise?
When the gas (air) in a hot air balloon is heated it becomes less dense. This makes the balloon more buoyant so it rises.Because heating the air inside the balloon makes it less dense than the air surrounding the outside of the balloon, so it will rise.
Is a hot air balloon gas?
No. A hot air balloon is a solid object. That is, the basket, the ropes, the burner and the envelope itself are not gasses. The air within the envelope is a gas, of course; heated atmospheric gasses in fact. But the balloon itself is not a gas.
