Yes, hot air balloons are less dense and therefore buoyant
============================================
Hot air balloons are buoyant to the extent that the weight of the hot air in the balloon is lighter than the free air. When the difference is more than the weight of the balloon and its contents it will be buoyant and will ascend.

What make a hotair balloon go up?
Hot air goes into the balloon. sense the air is so hot, it pushes the balloon off the ground and floats in the air!
If you were to turn on the burner on in the hot air balloon what effect would it have on the air in the balloon?
When the burner on a hot air balloon is turned on the air inside the balloon is heated making it less dense. This will cause the balloon to be more buoyant and climb.
What is a ballooner?
A ballooner is another term for a balloonist - a person who flies in a balloon, particularly a hot-air balloon.
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.
What kind of fuel is used for the hot air balloon?
Propane gas is used to fuel the burners that heat the air inside the balloon.A hot air balloon is filled with regular air that's heated by a propane burner. This heated air has a lower density than the air outside the ballon, thus allowing the filled balloon to be buoyant.
What happens to hotair balloon on the moon?
A hot air balloon would not work on the moon.

What sound would you hear if you were in a hotair balloon?
You would hear the intermittent sound of the gas jet used to reheat the air in the balloon.

For which of these would the buoyant force of air be greatest a bird hotair ballon an airplane?
it would be the same for all
MasteringPhysics What is the magnitude of the buoyant force on the balloon?
The magnitude of a buoyant force on a balloon depends on the size of the balloon. In other words, the force will be either big or small depending on the correlating size of the balloon in use with the experiment.
What is more buoyant air filled balloon or Styrofoam?
Under water they are as buoyant as each other but on land the balloon will float away and the Styrofoam will stay.
What happens to a balloon when pressure becomes less?
When the internal pressure in a balloon falls, the balloon get smaller and less buoyant.
Which has a greater buoyant force a huge lead zepplin or a small helium filled balloon?
a small helium balloon :) i think.... i dont actually know the answer i just know that a small helium balloon will be very buoyant :)
