Air is a mixture of gases in which helium is present in atmosphere.It is mostly present in oxygen tanks used by sea divers and in balloons.

What is the use of helium?
Balloons! Gaseous Helium is easily compressed and is stable, (as opposed to Hydrogen). It is lighter than surrounding air.
Where is a common place to find helium?
Helium is found in the atmosphere.
Which chemical element was found in gaseous state in the atmosphere surrounding the sun by scientist Pierre Janssen?
Helium
Can you pour helium?
Yes, you can pour helium if it is cold enough to reach a liquid phase. It liquefies at an extremely low temperature.If you "pour" gaseous helium, it is lighter than air and will pour "up" not down. And of course it will rapidly mix with the surrounding air.
How do the Jovian planet interiors differ?
All have cores of about the same mass, but differ in the amount of surrounding hydrogen and helium.
Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?
Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain
What is the most common place to find helium?
Helium is a gas. It is found in traces in the Earth's atmosphere.
Does helium atom in the Sun have the same physical properties as helium atom on Earth?
No. the size of helium is the same everywhere.
Name all of the island nations you can find surrounding the continent?

Where can I find helium?
you find helium gas as a by product from the sun .you also find it in a form of alpha particle . but the form we often use today is found in the atmosphere but it only 0.005 of our amothsphere is helium gas because a lot of the helium gas flouts away.
What makes the balloon rises?
Helium gas in the balloon causes it to rise as it is much less dense than the surrounding air which has heavier molecules such as Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, etc.
Why do helium balloons rise in air?
The helium balloon rises in air because the density of helium inside the balloon is less than that of the surrounded air that is displaced by the balloons volume. So the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air. Ice cubes float in a glass of liquid water for the same reason.
