The pressure of the air inside it. The higher the balloon rises, the lower the outside air-pressure. With less pressure outside, the balloon expands because of the pressure of the air inside it. Eventually, the balloon bursts, and scientists recover the instruments when they fall to earth.

maybe if the weather was cold the pressure of the balloon will decrease making the volume increase. its just a tought . if you oppose than please correct it

I believe for those of questioning, that the warmer the weather the more the balloon will expand and pop.

Does hot temperature change a balloon size?

It increases its size in two ways: # The interior gas pushes outward harder as it warms, and # The rubber of the balloon gets softer, easier to stretch, and its surface area (and hence its contained volume) increases a bit also.


What happens to a balloon kept in a very warm greenhouse?

The balloon will increase in size because the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the balloon will increase when the temperature increases .... Therefore the balloon from the greenhouse will increase its size and if we bring the ballonext back to the normal room temperature then the balloon will comega back to its original size ...

What is the cost to fill a helium balloon?

How big is the balloon? And what pressure do you require it to be inflated to? Greater size requires more He, thus more cost. Greater pressure requires more He, thus more cost. I have friends who launch helium-filled weather balloons, with Amateur Radio payloads. Once inflated, these balloons have a diameter of about 10 feet, and once released reach an altitude of about 90,000 feet. The cost of the helium for a balloon like this is about $60. Helium isn't cheap. Actually it's becoming scarce, and the US reserve supply, stored underground near Amarillo, TX, is lower today than it has been in the living memory of most folks. A balloon of the size that most folks are acquainted with would probably cost pennies to fill to a pressure that is less than its bursting point. Hope that helps.


Why are there different load lines for the seasons?

In colder weather the density of water increases slightly. The change is enough that an object the size of a ship can be loaded with more and still not be heavy enough to overload the ship. In summer the opposite occur.

Does a Weather balloon change size?

Yes, it does, due to the decreasing pressure at higher altitudes.


What happens to the volume or size of a balloon as it rises in the air?

The volume of the balloon will increase as it rises in the air. This is because the atmospheric pressure decreases at higher altitudes.


Does cold weather affect maximum balloon inflation size?

yes

Will a balloon filled with water change shape or size when frozen?

If a balloon were completely filled with water, with no extra space, then it will change shape and/or size as the water is frozen. This is because water expands at a rate of 9% when frozen.


What causes your chest size to change when you breathe in?

The air pressure rises in your chest


Why are weather balloons partially infated before they're released into the atmosphere?

As you rise in elevation, the pressure around you decreases. This lower pressure would cause the balloon to expand, and burst if it was inflated to much originally. By starting it off only partly filled, it will expand to a normal size and not explode.


What would change the size of a balloon?

Increased pressure on the inside, or decreased pressure on the outside.


When you replace helium in a balloon with less dense hydrogen does the buoyant force on the balloon change if the balloon remains the same size?

Yes. The helium will seep through ths skin of the balloon, reducing its buoyancy.


Does size increase as the temp of a particle of matter rises?

No, the size of the particles does not change. What does increase, however, is the speed of the particles and the amount of energy they each contain.
