The pilot of a hot air balloon uses the burners to move in different directions. Some of the air is moving east, while some of the air is moving west. The pilot of the balloon will either deflate or inflate the balloon to catch the wind in a particular direction.

How do hot air balloons descend?
They have to let out the hot air a little at a time.
What gas is used for a hot airballoon?
I am fairly sure that hot air balloons use normal air. They rely more on the idea of bouyancy rather than using specal gases, such as helium. The hot air inside of the balloon is more bouyant than the cold air outside of the balloon. So that makes the balloon ascend till the temperature of the air inside of the balloon is equal to the temperature of the air outside of the balloon. Then as the air inside the balloon gets colder, the balloon starts to descend.
A deflated hot-air balloon weighs a total of 8000 n filled with hot air the balloon rises to a height of 1000 m how much work is accomplished by the hot air?
8J
What elements are used in an air balloon?
Hot air is common.
Heated air molecules in a hot air balloon soon carry thermal energy to the top of the balloon this is an example of?
Convection.
What way can a hot air balloon travel?
A hot air balloon pilot has control over the vertical axis of flight only. By heating the air in the balloon, the pilot can control the vertical flightpath in an upwarddirection. By releasing hot air or by letting the air cool down, the pilot can affect the vertical axis of flight in a downward direction. Any other directional control (the horizontal flight path) is controlled by the wind. the only control the pilot has in the horizontal flight path is by taking the balloon up or down into the wind which flows in the direction the pilot wants to travel.
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 .
Why do you travel from west to east in a hot air balloon?
In a hot air balloon, your control over which direction you go is fairly limited and essentially you drift with the wind. So, if you live in a place where the wind normally blows from the west to the east, that's the direction you will most likely go.
How does a hot air balloon return to Earth's surface?
A hot air balloon comes down when less lift is provided by reducing balloon air temperature to control descent.
Three main part of a hot air balloon?
one direction
How do you use trial balloon in a sentence?
The weatherman sent a trial balloon into the air. The director of the hot air balloon event send a trial balloon into the air to test the wind direction.
What factors need to be taken into considaration in a hot-air balloon?
the speed and direction
How are hot air balloons usually controlled?
Burning natural gas to heat the air in the balloon and dropping weights both make the balloon rise, letting hot air out (through vents near the top) makes the balloon sink. These maneuvers allow the pilot to find air masses that move in the desired direction. No horizontal control is available other than the movement of surrounding air.
Why does a hot air balloon fly?
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
Why is an hot air balloon called a hot air balloon?
Because the fire or heating device heats the air in the top section ( the actual balloon ) and hot air rises... so the hot air trapped in the balloon makes the balloon rise :)
How is a hot balloon lifted into the air?
to make a hot air balloon rise you use hot air
What is weight of hot air balloon?
a hot air balloon virtually weighs negative lbs but it would depend on how hot the air is in the balloon.
