Charles' law - states that gases expand when heated. When the gas expands it becomes less dense (because it now has the same mass but a larger volume). The reduction in density causes the balloon to rise

How does convection apply to a hot air balloon?
It just does ;)
How does particle theory explain the formation works in a hot air balloon?
A gas burner is used in the hot air balloon to heat air. When heat is applied, particles tend to expand. Due to this the air surrounding the balloon is cooler than the air inside it, making it to rise.
Can a hot air balloon pop?
yes is could
How big can a blown up balloon get?
A balloon can be blown up until the pressure of the contained air becomes too great, and the rubber breaks. I can imagine that the volume of air a balloon can hold depends on the size of the balloon before it is inflated, the thickness of the rubber, and the quality of the rubber.Various types of balloons will therefore have different capacities. I would think that an average party balloon could probably hold 3 or 4 litres of air. If you wanted, you could find the radius of the balloon, then calculate the volume (presuming that the balloon is a sphere). You could also fill a balloon with water then weigh it.
How could you keep a balloon from rising or falling in air?
Tie it to a string
What are good facts about how a balloon car works?
a balloon car works by the air in the balloon.
What makes a hot air balloon works?
a hot air balloon works when the hot air blowing from the bottom pushes up the balloon which lifts it up into the sky where it moves in the direction where the wind blows .
How does a balloon powered boat works?
A balloon car works by your air because you have to blow up a balloon and put it on the end of your boat.

How does hot air balloon work?
the balloon works with the poplo force forcing it up
What does air do to help your heart?
Hot air rises. That is how a hot air balloon works.
Why does a hot air balloon fly when you apply hot air?
the hot air is more dense then the actual air
How a hot air balloon works in a partical theory?
yes
How do you inflate a balloon underwater?
When you inflate a balloon, even on land, you pinch the mouth of the balloon shut to stop air escaping once you have run out of air. You can do the same thing underwater. Take a breath, dive under, and blow into the balloon, and pinch it when you run out of air. You could also use a snorkel, but you will need to make sure you leave enough air in your lungs to blow water out of the snorkel.
What could a pilot do cause the balloon back to the ground?
If a hot air balloon, then stop heating the air. If a lighter-than-air balloon then release some of the gas.
What works better for a hot air balloon polyester or cotton?
cotton
Facts about hot air balloon?
it works bye using fire
