Hot air balloons can fly at almost any altitude they choose. The height of the balloon flight is determined primarily by the pilot. Most balloon flights are tourist sightseeing flights or just fun flying by sport pilots. These flights are typically performed between 500 and 2000 feet above the ground. Also balloons must comply with the air traffic control regulations which limit where and how high balloons may fly unless they carry special navigation and communication equipment. On November 26, 2005, Vijaypat Singhania set the world altitude record for highest hot air balloon flight, reaching 21,027 meters (68,986 feet) above sea level. This flight was done in India under special permission from Indian authorities using a specially designed hot air balloon.

They fly at low altitudes because if you fly too high, the balloon may pop. A2: Above seems unlikely, as the balloon is open at its lower end. Mainly I think because they are generally used for passenger viewing flights and the general public would not have the clothing for high altitudes as well as not wanting to be very high since the purpose of the flight is to view the terrain below. The balloon works by making the air inside hotter and less dense than the surrounding air, so as it rises it needs to use more fuel to achieve this as the surrounding air gets less dense. There must be an effective max height for hot air balloons but I don't know what the record is.
Hot air balloons use the fact that hot air rises as a way to make balloons fly. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it rises, and this creates lift which is used to make the balloon fly.
Planes fly high to get above the weather, and to avoid air traffic. For jet planes, certain altitudes, all quite high, afford more efficient flight conditions.
because it helps it fly in air

air balloons or hot air balloons fly because they fill with a very light type of air. The air is hot air.
Buoyancy allows hot air balloons to fly.

No it can not fly on mars because theres no air for it to create lift. Helicoptors can only fly on earth and they cant fly at high altitudes.
Better fuel economy. The air is thinner at higher altitudes.

Jet airplanes fly at high altitudes because it is more fuel efficient. Flying at higher altitudes uses less fuel than flying at lower altitudes.

You can't physicly fly, but you can ride in air planes and hot air balloons.
