Air - a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases. When heated, air becomes less dense and so it will float in cooler (= more dense) air, giving the balloon its lift.
Airships and blimps are different to hot air balloons in that they gain lift from an envelope (the balloon) filled with a gas that is lighter than air. In the past, this was hydrogen but use of this gas was stopped due to its extremely flammable nature and helium is now used instead.
Used gasses in balloons: helium, hot air, hydrogen.

Which gas is used to fill a hot air balloon?
A typical hot air balloon is filled with the same air we breath.
What is used in a hot air balloon?
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.
What kind gas is used in hot air balloon?
No Gas Just hot air which is why it is called a hot air balloon. If you were wondering hot air is lighter than cold air which makes it rise so when it is trapped inside the balloon the whole thing will rise.
What is inside an hot air balloon?
hot air or hot gas
What is the name of the gas that is filled in hot air balloons to make them soar and rise up in the sky?
In a "hot air" balloon, which you refer to in your question, the gas is hot air. Heated air rises, so the balloon rises. The gas used in the burner, to heat the air, is propane.

What type of gas is used in a hot air balloon?
A hot air balloon is normally powered with propane. Other than that, it is just ordinary air used inside the balloon.
What material is used to make an air balloon?
The gas is hot air.

Which gas did Jacques Charles discover could be used as the source of hot air for a hot air balloon's envelope?
hydrogen
What gas is used in a modern airship?
Some use hot air (like a hot air balloon) and others use helium.
Is a hot air balloon gas?
No. A hot air balloon is a solid object. That is, the basket, the ropes, the burner and the envelope itself are not gasses. The air within the envelope is a gas, of course; heated atmospheric gasses in fact. But the balloon itself is not a gas.
