Because helium is less dense than air, so it rises.
Hot air balloons rise because heated air from the burner becomes less dense and therefore rises.

What is the difference between a helium balloon and a hot air balloon?
A helium balloon does not need energy to rise in the air. A hot air balloon needs fuel to rise in air. That is it needs heat energy to rise in air.i love Pizza squares i hope they put helium in then one dayHelium relies on the fact that helium is lighter than air. Hot air balloons rely on the fact that hot air has less volume than cold air and is lighter than the air around it. hot air balloons use hot air to cause the balloon to lift as helium balloons use a special gas to cause lift
What last longer helium fill balloon or hot air balloons?
hot air balloons
Is helium used in hot air balloons?
No, it is not. "Regular" air is used, and it is heated. Hot air is less dense than cooler air, and it will rise. If hot air is trapped in an envelope, it will give lift to the envelope and an attached payload.
What causes hot air balloons to fly?
Usually only balloons that are filled with helium will float. Helium is a gas that is lighter than air, so causes the balloon to fly. Note that if you blow a balloon yourself, it will just float to the ground. There are also hot air balloons in which the air is heated by an on board heater. Hot air, being lighter than cold air, rises and lifts the balloon. When the air cools, unless it is reheated, the balloon descends.
How do helium balloons work?
helium balloons get filled with a amount of air in which is called helium it is used to make balloons float around in air. helium is a inert,gaseous element!!!!!yea i kenisha am smartHelium is less dense than air, therefore a helium-filled balloon will float in air.Helium is lighter that air, so it effectively floats on air. As a helium balloon is submerged in air, it rises upwards (like an air filled bubble in water).
Does helium rise?
yes honey, that's why hot air balloons rise

What is the difference between a helium balloon and a hot-air balloon?

How high do hot air balloons go up?
they contain helium molecules which are lighter than the air we breath making the balloons rise
What form is helium?
hot air balloons and balloons
How do air balloons lift off from the ground?
Balloons filled with Helium rise because Helium is less dense than normal air. Hot air balloons lift off the ground because heat rises, and when the balloon is full of air of a higher temperature than its surroundings, the balloon will rise.
What last longer helium fill balloon or hot air balloons?
hot air balloons
Is helium gas in a hot air balloon?
No, hot air balloons, as the name suggests, contain hot air, not helium.
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 is hot air better than helium in hot air balloons?
Hot air balloons use hot air. They have a burner to heat the air. Hydrogen balloons were too dangerous because hydrogen is highly flammable, even static electricity could cause an explosion. Helium is safer because helium is not flammable.
What chemical formula makes you balloons?
Balloons contain helium or hot air.
What do balloons have inside?
Some balloons just have air (the inflated ones used as decorations). The ones that rise in the air are filled with helium, a gas much less dense than air. The large balloons that carry people aloft are lifted by hot air, using propane burners. Hot air is also less dense than cooler air. The weather balloons that rise to great heights are filled with helium or other gases, and some inevitably pop when they expand to their limit in the upper atmosphere.
