A candle-powered hot air balloon works by heating the air inside the balloon with a suspended candle flame. As the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense and rises, creating lift. The balloon will continue to rise until the air inside cools down or the flame is extinguished.
Hydrogen is used. Sorry. Just regular air is used in a hot air balloon, it is heated which makes it lighter and less dense and therefore provide lift. Hence the name hot air balloon. Hydrogen is used in a gas balloon.
A hot air balloon is powered by burning propane in the burner, which heats the air inside the balloon envelope. As the air inside the balloon heats up, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise. The pilot can control the altitude by adjusting the burner intensity to heat the air more or less.

A hot air balloon is normally powered with propane. Other than that, it is just ordinary air used inside the balloon.

A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
In a hot air balloon, a gas burner is used to heat air to a temperature of about 212°F (100°C). Since hot air is lighter and less dense than the cool air around the balloon, the heated air causes the whole balloon to rise. When the air inside the balloon cools down, or when the hot air is let out, the balloon goes down. A hot air balloon is powered by hot air, hot air is lighter (less dense) then the air outside of the balloon (More dense) Heat rises, so the heated air, pushes up into the balloon allowing the balloon to lift. The more heat, the faster it will go, the less heat, the slower it will go, until it starts to descend. Decent is relatively slow, because the air is slowly cooling, however the cooler the air the faster the decent is. To avoid rapid falling, heat it applied to reheat the air so the decent goes slowly.
No, a blimp is not a type of hot air balloon. While both are inflated with gas to become buoyant, hot air balloons rely on heated air to rise, while blimps are powered by engines and filled with helium or hydrogen gas for lift.
A hot air balloon flies because hot air inside the balloon is less dense than the cooler air outside. This temperature difference creates lift, allowing the balloon to rise and float in the air. By controlling the temperature of the air inside the balloon, the pilot can control the balloon's ascent and descent.
A hot air balloon is called such because it is filled with hot air to make it rise. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler air, causing the balloon to float upwards.
If the balloon were lofted by hydrogen, it would not be a "hot air" balloon, as no heat would be needed. Indeed, to get even a spark near the hydrogen would be for the balloon to go up in a huge fireball. Hydrogen was abandoned as a lift gas for lighter -than-air craft in the 1930's, exactly for that reason.
