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.
hot air or hot gas
A typical hot air balloon is filled with the same air we breath.
No Gas Just hot air which is why it is called a hot air balloon. If you were wondering hot air is lighter than cold air which makes it rise so when it is trapped inside the balloon the whole thing will rise.
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.
Well it has a gas fueled flame and the flames heat makes the balloon part fill up with hot air. Hot air rises so the hot air balloon will float into the sky like a helium balloon would.

It's a gas
A hot air balloon is normally powered with propane. Other than that, it is just ordinary air used inside the balloon.
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.
The gas is hot air.
Simple...hot air rises..
The hot air from the gas burner rises and enters the balloon's envelope. Once there is enough hot air trapped, the whole balloon will begin to lift off the floor. This is due entirely to the fact that hot air rises.
In a "hot air" balloon, which you refer to in your question, the gas is hot air. Heated air rises, so the balloon rises. The gas used in the burner, to heat the air, is propane.
