What is the Parachute Vavle Cord in a hot air balloon?
It controls the parachute at the top of the balloon. By pulling down on the cord it opens the top, letting hot air out and controlling the decent
Why does hot air balloons float?
To put it simply, hot air balloons rise due to heat produced by the burning of propane, the heat travels up through the balloon's valve into the balloon itself (the envelope) and up to the parachute valve. Since heat rises, the hot air balloon its self rises. Better answer: a boat floats on water because it weighs less than the water it replaces. likewise, a hot air balloon floats, because the weight of the total balloon + hot air is less then the volume of cold air it replaces. Air has a weight too, but normally you don't notice.
How is a parachute different from a hot air balloon?
Its a fairly large difference. A hot air balloon is meant for multiple people and it propels itself and maintains a high altitude by burning gas, making it float. A parachute is just meant for slowing someone's speed while falling
Why does smaller parachutes hit the ground before bigger parachutes?
If you have two parachutes, one big and one small, the biggest one will take more time then the other parachute. This happens because there is more room in the parachute which is causing air to go in side, which is air resistance. The smaller parachute has a lot of air resistance because it is smaller and there is less room for the air to go inside. However, the bigger balloon has little air resistance because it has more room in it for the air to get inside. The air is pushing the balloon up so it will fall slower.
How do you land a hotair balloon?
Well All hot air balloons have a variable release valve in the top of the balloon which the pilot can use to control the altitude of the balloon..This valve when opened to a certain point allows hot air to slowly escape from the top of the balloon and the balloon will slowly decend,the exchange is controlled so the balloon maintains its size...by use of the release valve and the burners the pilot can control the rate of decent to a nice soft landing....The release valve is also used to quickly deflate the ballon once it has landed...

What is the parachute valve at the top of a hot air balloon is used for?
The valve allows hot air to escape, slowing the ascent of the balloon, or if the valve is left open long enough it will cause descent.
What is the bottom of a parachute?
a person or on a hot air balloon, a basket
How does a hot air balloon gain altitude?
Altitude is controlled by the propane burner and the parachute valve. The parachute valve is an opening at the top of the balloon envelope. When closed, it traps hot air from the burner inside the balloon, making the hot air balloon rise. When opened, it allows hot air to escape, and the hot air balloon descends. The reason a hot air ballon rises is because the density of the balloon is less than the density of the surrounding air. Its the same thing as "why does a boat float". In the case of the balloon, the operator modulates the flame on and off to maintain the desired altitude - increase the flame, and the balloon goes up - decrease or shut off the flame, and the balloon goes down. A better metaphor to a boat is a submarine - add ballast and the submarine goes down - blow ballast and the submarine goes up.

How does the shape of a hot air balloon affect it's flight?
The bigger the envelope\balloon is the slower you will go like a parachute
How much minute a man fall of an hot air balloon whithout a parrashoot?
*Parachute
Who was the artist that sketched a pyramid parachute 300 years before it was invented?
hot air balloon
What are the 2 ways of controlling the descent of the hot air balloon?
There are actually three ways. The first is just not using your burner, letting the air cool down. The second is to use the parachute valve, a flap on the top of the balloon controlled by the pilot. The third method is to shoot the balloon with a .22. other calibers can be used, but I recommend using a .22, since the rounds are cheaper.

Why does heat makes the parachute fly?
heat makes a parachute fly because when hot air goes into a balloon shape it blows up and then lifts into the air it acts like helium o yeahhhh
In hot air ballooning how is the manoeuvring or cooling valve used?
The cooling valve is used to regulate the elevation of the hot air balloon. It essentially disables the flame that feeds the balloon, causing it to sink.
