Weather balloons are launched twice a day, usually simultaneously at 0000 UTC and 1200 UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), at almost 900 locations around the world. The balloon flights usually last about 2 hours, during which they may drift as far as 125 miles away, and rise to heights over 100,000 feet (more than 20 miles or 32 kilometers).

Which layer of Atmosphere does hot air balloons fly?

Hot air balloons typically fly in the lower part of the atmosphere known as the troposphere. This layer extends from the Earth's surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) high, depending on the location and weather conditions. The troposphere is where most weather occurs and is suitable for ballooning due to its relatively stable air currents.
