The ballon contains a fixed amount of gas producing internal pressure. At the surface, this pressure equals the surface atmospheric pressure. As the balloon rises, the atmospheric pressure drops, allowing the balloon to expand, keeping the internal pressure and external pressure equal. If the balloon is fully inflated at the surface it will burst at higher altitude.

Will a balloon rise if the air inside is hot?

The heating of the air through the use of a burner is what makes balloons rise.


What layer of the atmosphere is a weather balloon in?

A weather balloon typically ascends through the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where most weather phenomena occur. It can rise into the stratosphere, the layer above the troposphere, where it may reach altitudes of up to 30 kilometers (about 18.6 miles). The primary purpose of these balloons is to collect data on temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure as they ascend.


Are balloons magnetic?

No, balloons are not magnetic. If they rise, that has nothing to do with magnetism.


Does hot air balloons fly in the troposphere?

Yes, hot air balloons fly in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere, extending from the surface up to about 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 9 miles) high. They operate by using heated air, which is less dense than the cooler air outside, allowing the balloon to rise. Most hot air balloon flights occur at altitudes well within the troposphere, typically between a few hundred to a few thousand feet.


What element is used to expand small objects and make them float?

Helium is the element commonly used to expand small objects and make them float. Its low density allows it to lift objects, such as balloons, creating the buoyant force necessary for them to rise in the air.


What is the element used to fill balloons that rise?

What gas is found in balloons that rise to the ceiling?

Helium gas is found in balloons that rise to the ceiling. This gas is less dense than air, causing the balloon to float upward.


Why do you think hot-air balloons can rise into the air?

Hot-air balloons can rise up into the air because hot air is lighter, allowing it to float up into the sky.


Why do weather balloons expand as they rise through the troposphere?

The ballon contains a fixed amount of gas producing internal pressure. At the surface, this pressure equals the surface atmospheric pressure. As the balloon rises, the atmospheric pressure drops, allowing the balloon to expand, keeping the internal pressure and external pressure equal. If the balloon is fully inflated at the surface it will burst at higher altitude.


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.


Does helium rise?

yes honey, that's why hot air balloons rise
