You can use air but it won't float so I would recommend helium. If you suck in helium, it will make your voice sound weird.... Try it!!

Why do modern spacecraft use helium instead of hydrogen?
Helium is much safer, so it is often used in balloons and blimps, not spacecraft.Hydrogen is still used as a fuel. Helium will not burn.
Helium is used in balloons instead of hydrogen because it is?
Helium is used instead of hydrogen because it is nonflammable.
Is oxygen lighter than helium?
no. If it was, we would have oxygen balloons instead of helium balloons.
Why is helium used to fill balloons instead of oxygen or hydrogen?
Helium will not burn. Hydrogen burns in air to form H2O (water) Thus in circumstances where a lite gas is required (e.g. in a balloon) it is safer to use Helium. see http://www.unmuseum.org/hindenburg.htm
How helium use?
Inhale
Why is it safer to use helium instead of hydrogen?
Helium is inert whereas hydrogen is flammable and under some conditions explosive
Can you inflate a balloon without helium?
You can use air instead of helium, but it will not rise. The reason helium balloons rise is because helium is lighter than air. I am sure other gases can be used also.

What is a common use for helium?
helium balloons
what is Helium about?
helium is after haydrogen it means hygrogen is lighter than helium. now the question arises that "Q.1"why we use helium instead of hydrogen coz hydrogen is lighter than helium. Ans.1:hydrogen has 1 electron in its 1st shell and helium has it's complete shell with two electron. When we fill hydrogen in the baloon they form ionic bond... so it is used double...
How do you make a balloon rise?
Instead of blowing normal air (your breath, a pump, etc.) into the balloon, you'd use helium to make it float.
Does a hot air balloon have helium inside it?
No, I am sorry, but there is no helium inside a hot-air balloon. Instead, there is hot air.
How Do You Noz?
Well noz is a gas that is used to make the race cars go fast. people use noz to get high noz by filling up balloons with noz and inhaling the noz from there kinda like when u use helium to make your voice funny but instead of helium its noz
