Why does a balloon filled with hydrogen gas move up in the air?

Sometimes it's not obvious, but gases have weight. The weight of all the air above you is called the barometric pressure. Each gas has a different weight. Hydrogen is the lightest gas so it floats on heavier gasses, just as wood floats in water. Helium is also lighter than air. That's why balloons are filled with helium, so they float in the air.
