Why does an airship float in air?
An airship uses helium which weighs less than air, and it cancels out the weight of the airship. Hydrogen weighs even less than helium, but it is combustible, so helium is preferred for use in airships.
Why did the hindenburg not use helium?
It wasn't. The US was the biggest producer of helium, and didn't want to sell any to Germany. So they used Hydrogen, which is also light, but very flammable.
How could the Hindenburg disaster been avoided?
no
Did punter Ray Guy of the Oakland Raiders ever use helium in his footballs?
Ray Guy was obviously a great punter. I've never heard of helium in the footballs. In recent studies, helium in a football actually makes it go a shorter distance. Like throwing a wiffle ball compared to a baseball.
When is helium temperature?
The element helium can exist over a very wide range of temperatures. Helium is notable for having the lowest boiling point of any element. Liquid helium is exceptionally cold.
What is the main purpose of helium?
helium is used to cool superconducting magnets in mri scanners as helium is lighter then air airships use them as gasses
What are the two main elements found in the stars?

What are main group of star?
This may refer to the main sequence - stars that are on the main curve in the Hertzsprung-Russel diagram. Those are basically the stars that use fusion to convert protium into helium-4.

What is Saturn's main gas?
hydrogen ,helium
What is Jupiter's main ingredient?

Hydrogen and helium
What can i use instead of helium?
You can use air but it won't float so I would recommend helium. If you suck in helium, it will make your voice sound weird.... Try it!!
What are the gases burned by stars?
Stars fuse hydrogen into helium during the main sequence. After the main sequence, helium, oxygen, silicon and carbon are fused.
