Where do birthday balloons go when they are released in the air?

With helium filled balloons, they rise upwards as the gas inside is of a lower density than the atmosphere around them. The balloon will continue to rise and the gas inside it will expand as the atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing altitude. Eventually, the gas inside the balloon will expand enough to burst the balloon and the balloon will fall back to the ground. When and where this happens depends on weather conditions, air temperature, the rubber used in the balloon, etc.

How high do hot air balloons go up?
they contain helium molecules which are lighter than the air we breath making the balloons rise
What layer of the atmosphere do hot air balloons go in?
stratosphere
Why can hot air balloons only go so high?
air density and temperature
What is the balloons air that makes it go up?
heated air rises, so it's usually just air w/some type of heater above basket

If a hot air balloon is floating how can you make it go down?
the hot air balloons goes down to earth by the air molecules reach the cold air.the air molecules cramp to each other, making it more dener than the air. the hot air balloons start to go down.( the person has to turn off the fire to start this)
Can hot air balloons go higher than an airplane?
No. Air pressure and temperature keep hot air balloons from going past a certain distance. At any rate, the air is to thin at 35,000 feet (average airplane height) for any human to survive.
Shopping For Birthday Balloons?
Most people are familiar with birthday balloons. Rubber balloons are filled with helium or air and come in a variety of colors. Mylar balloons are most often filled with helium; they have a metallic sheen, and have a variety of designs printed on them. Rubber balloons are also called latex balloons. These balloons often do not last long, because the helium leaks out through tiny pores in the rubber. Filling the balloon with plain air will cause it to last much longer, but of course, such balloons will not float. On the other hand, you may not want your balloons to last long past the birthday celebration; random balloons floating around the house can be annoying. If you do want them to last, however, and you prefer rubber balloons, you can ask if your store has any balloons that have been treated with Hi Float. Hi Float is a substance used to coat the inside of rubber balloons to prevent the helium from leaking out. Balloons treated with Hi Float last up to 25 times longer than regular balloons. If you want to go the mylar route, you’ll have a lot of options. There are many shapes and colors available. There are many super-sized mylar balloons as well, which can be exciting to receive. Mylar balloons also last much longer than untreated rubber balloons, because there are few tiny holes for the helium to slip through. Some can even last for several weeks! Be careful with mylar balloons around power lines, however; they can conduct electricity, and balloons that come in contact with the lines are often the cause of outages. Be careful around children with any balloons, because they can be a choking hazard when they’re uninflated or have burst. In addition, resist the temptation to breathe in the helium; when you breathe in helium, you’re not breathing in air, so it’s like you’re not breathing at all. You can asphyxiate, even die. And that wouldn’t make for a very happy birthday at all.
Why does Cold air normally go under warm air?
It's heavier. Warming gases makes them less dense. That is why hot air balloons work.
