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.
What make a hotair balloon go up?
Hot air goes into the balloon. sense the air is so hot, it pushes the balloon off the ground and floats in the air!
What gas do we fill in hot air balloon?
Hot air balloons are filled with hot air from a propane burner in the basket. Hot air rises. So provided the cooling air in the balloon is topped up from short blasts from the burner, the balloon will rise off the ground.
How do you get off a hot air balloon?
You climb out when the balloon lands on the ground and the basket is secure.
Why does the heating of gas cause a hot air balloon to rise?
Because hot air rises and a hot air balloon utilizes this. As the hot air rises it lifts the balloon so that it lifts off from the ground. And the reason why the hot air balloon has a burner, the thing that is connected to the balloon itself and shoots flame into it, is because the hot air inside the balloon begins to cool causing it to fall so the burner reheats the air so that it doesn't return back to the ground.
Does a hot air balloon drop you off where it picks you up?
no
Why does a hot air balloon get off the ground?
because warm gases rise because they are less dense than normal air, so the hot air from the flame is trapped in the balloon thus lifting it off the ground.
Why does a gas burner in a balloon begin to rise when heated air is trappd inside the balloon?
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.
Why does an air balloon float?
If you mean hot air balloon then it floats because hot air rises because it is less dense and with enough hot air caught in the balloon it can lift create enough lift to take off into the air. If you mean a helium balloon then it rises because helium in the balloon is less dense then the air around it. Since less dense things rise to the top the balloon will float.
