Why do some balloons pop when they are left in sunlight too long?

Since the sun contains heat, the molecules move faster and that is kinetic energy. As the pressure increases, the temperature also increases. That causes the balloon to expand and it will eventually pop.

Why do some balloons pop when they are left in the sunlight for to long?
This is especially likely in thin-skinned balloons, like the latex balloons used in birthday parties. The molecules of air that filled the balloons will move faster as they absorb the heat from the sun, and as they do, they gain kinetic energy and will take up more room. This is known as Boyle's Law of Gases. Essentially, the warmer any gas becomes, the more volume (room) the molecules of that gas require. Eventually, in a thin balloon the internal pressure caused by the increased temperature of the gases inside become greater than the ability of the balloon to contain them and the balloon bursts, releasing the gases to the atmosphere.
