Best Answer

Once the balloon gets high enough in the atmosphere, the ambient atmospheric pressure becomes very low (say 20mb = 2000Pa). There is a pressure gradient force from the high pressure of the air inside the balloon to the air in the environment outside of the balloon, working across the balloon material. Once this PGF becomes stronger than the tension of the balloon material, the balloon will pop.
