What might limit how high a hot air balloon get?
The density of hot air is lower than air at low altitudes, but the air at higher altitudes is very thin. A hot air balloon can only rise until its density equals the surrounding air.

What atmospheric conditions might affect the flight of a hot air balloon?
High winds, thunderstorms, or very cold air would have a detrimental effect on any hot air balloon flight.
Why balloon filled with air brusts in heat or sunlight?
By heating the pressure in the balloon is rised and the limit of the resistance of the balloon envelope is exceeded.
When is a hot air balloon behaving like an air mass in a high pressure area?
When the air mass is like the hot-air balloon =P
How high in the air can a hot air balloon rise?
Until The Pilot Of The Balloon Cannot Breathe And Must Bring The Balloon Down Due To Lack Of Oxygen.
What happens to a balloon on a hot day and what might happen if it gets to hot?
When air is heated, its volume increases. If you fill a balloon with comparably cold air and then let it touch hotter air, the air inside will expand and thereby increase the pressure on the balloon membrane. If this pressure gets too strong, the balloon might pop.
What does ballooning mean?
Ballooning means "ascending in a balloon", "rising high in the air, similar to a balloon", or "growing rapidly, such as a balloon".
Why a balloon inflates when a bottle and balloon system is placed in hot water?
The hot water heats up the air inside the bottle, causing it to expand, forcing some of the air out of the bottle and into the balloon, causing it to inflate. The larger the bottle, the more air that will be pushed into the balloon. The air in the balloon will quickly cool and, since hot air is less dense and therefore rises, the cooler air is forced back into the bottle to be heated up. Eventually the air will be a constant temperature and the balloon will reach the limit of inflation. As the water cools, the air cools and the balloon begins to deflate.
What has a low mass but a high volume?
A hot air balloon.
How high does a hot air balloon rises?
It rises until the air it displaces weighs no more than the balloon and everything hanging from it weighs.
How high will you go with a hot air balloon tour?
While a hot air balloon can fly several miles in the air, a tour balloon will generally only go about a mile up due to pressure concerns.
