What causes hot air balloons to fly?

Usually only balloons that are filled with helium will float. Helium is a gas that is lighter than air, so causes the balloon to fly. Note that if you blow a balloon yourself, it will just float to the ground. There are also hot air balloons in which the air is heated by an on board heater. Hot air, being lighter than cold air, rises and lifts the balloon. When the air cools, unless it is reheated, the balloon descends.


Why does a hot air balloon fly?

A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
