How balloons and blimps are able to fly in oceans of air?
Balloons float because of the same principal as how ships float: bouyancy. A ship displaces a volume of water. If the ship's weight is less than the volume of water that it displaces, then it will float. Same is true for a balloon. It displaces a volume of air. If the Hydrogen or Helium in the balloon weighs less than the volume of air it displaces, then it will rise.
How can blimps be use in scientific studies of the air?

What is the gas used in hot air balloon?
Air - a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. When heated, air becomes less dense and so it will float in cooler (= more dense) air, giving the balloon its lift.Airships and blimps are different to hot air balloons in that they gain lift from an envelope (the balloon) filled with a gas that is lighter than air. In the past, this was hydrogen but use of this gas was stopped due to its extremely flammable nature and helium is now used instead.Used gasses in balloons: helium, hot air, hydrogen.

Where in the atmosphere do hot air balloons float?
Hot air balloons float because hot air displaces cool air in the atmosphere
How are hot air balloons blimps and dirigibles similar?
um dont ask me omg man
What are dirigibles?
Dirigibles are lighter-than-air aircraft that can be maneuvered by their own power. There are different kinds of dirigibles, such as blimps and airships, but all are distinguished from other lighter-than-air craft, such as balloons, which do not have their own steering and power sources.
What are the differences between hot air balloons and blimps?
blimps are oval shaped
What is helium mostly found in?
In helium balloons and blimps. Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or blimps filled with helium will float or rise up
What type of air craft isn't heavy than air?
Balloons, dirigibles and zeppelins are lighter than air aircraft. Gliders may count as well but I am not positive.
What makes helium great to use in balloons and blimps?
Helium's density is less than the density of air, so it floats in air.
What does helium have in it that makes it float?
Helium is lighter than air. Hence balloons or blimps filled with helium will float.
What objects contain helium?
Helium is generally used in helium balloons and blimps. Helium is lighter than air and these items will float in air
How does helium help flight?
Helium is lighter than air. So balloons or blimps filled with helium will rise up and float.
What are the examples of air?
The most obvious are being used every day. Air transportation includes: Airplanes, Helicopters, Hot Air Balloons, Blimps, Rockets, Kites, Parachutes and Birds.
