What make a hotair balloon go up?

A hot air balloon goes up because the air inside the balloon is heated, which makes it less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This creates a buoyant force that causes the balloon to rise. The pilot controls the altitude by adjusting the temperature of the air inside the balloon.
