Weather balloons typically carry a thermometer (to measure air temperature), a psychrometer (to measure humidity), a barometer (to measure air pressure) and a transmitter (to send the information through radio waves to equipment at the ground so we will know what the instruments are measuring up in the air)

What is a name for a device that is sent up into the air to measure information about the weather?
weather balloon
What is the instrument package attached to a weather balloon?
radiosonde
What will change the size of the weather balloon as it rises?
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.
How far can a weather balloon travel in the atmosphere?
It depends on the wind and balloon payload. The smaller the payload, the higher the balloon may rise before it bursts. The balloon I helped launch landed close to 60 miles from the launch site.
What unit does a weather balloon measures?
A weather balloon is sent up to gather information on atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity and wind speed by means of a small, expendable measuring unit called a radiosonde.
What does a weather balloon do?
A weather balloon floats in the atmosphere to gather clue about weather all over the world.
What is the standard volume of a weather balloon?
A 567kg weather balloon is designed to lift a 3670 package.......
What does the hot air balloon do if the weather is hot?
The balloon will still fly the weather must be above 12 degrees.
What is a weather balloon job?
A weather balloon gathers information on temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and wind speed.
How many air particles are in a balloon?
That depends on how big the balloon is and weather or not it is inflated with air.
What weather instrument Carries weather instruments aloft to about 30000's meters?
weather balloon
Who invented the weather balloon?
Jared Eckhardt
When was the first weather balloon made?
1783
What does th weather balloon measures?
humitidy
Why did Jared eckhardt invent the weather balloon?
He invented the weather balloon for one purpose and that was to figure out wind patterns. He, quite frankly, was bored at home and the thought came to his head. He always wondered about weather patterns because he was very interested in science. The weather balloon was very successful. As was Jared Eckhardt!
