A balloon has some mass and volume. Therefore it will rise in the atmosphere until that mass/volume is equal to that of the local atmosphere.

How long does it take for a balloon to reach space?

A balloon can reach the upper atmosphere, also known as near space, in a few hours. However, reaching the actual boundary of space, which is about 100 kilometers (62 miles) above sea level, would require a specialized high-altitude balloon and can take several hours to reach that height.


Could you use helium to float an item into space?

No, air pressure increases as the balloon goes up, so the balloon will pop and fall to the ground. You can get high up in the atmosphere (but you need a LOT of helium and a balloon that can get VERY big) you will not reach "outer" space beyond the Earth's atmosphere.


When air heats in a bottle you can a balloon?

The air alone is not able to blow up a balloon. When air in the bottle is heated with a balloon on top of it, the air expands due to the heat and moves and finds more space. This in turn will blow up the balloon.


If the universe were able to reach absolute zero would all the matter in it be randomly distributed across space or uniformly distributed across space?

While there is matter in the universe it will not be able to reach absolute zero


Who was the first man in space by balloon?

The first man to reach the stratosphere in a balloon was Auguste Piccard, a Swiss physicist, and explorer. On May 27, 1931, Piccard ascended to a record-setting altitude of 15,785 meters (51,775 ft) in a hydrogen balloon. His achievements paved the way for high-altitude research and space exploration.


What will a helium filled balloon do in space?

In space, a helium-filled balloon will expand further due to the lack of air pressure outside the balloon. Eventually, the balloon will burst because the pressure from the helium inside will exceed the pressure outside.


Why inflated balloon cannot fit into your bag?

because the air inside the balloon take up the space and it will not allow the balloon to fit in bag


What is the shape of air in the balloon?

The air inside a balloon takes the shape of the balloon itself. It expands to fill the space within the balloon, conforming to its size and shape.


Why helium leaks out of a balloon?

The latex balloon and to a lesser extent mylar, also, is actually porous and has tiny tiny spaces between the latex molecules. The molecules do not fit together with no space between them, and the helium molecules are so small that they are able to fit between the molecules of the balloon and float out and away.


How do you know that air takes up space?

Blow it into a balloon and you'll see it (= the balloon) grow.


How do you make an experiment to show that air occupies space?

To demonstrate that air occupies space, you can use a simple experiment by inflating a balloon and then placing it in a container filled with water. As the balloon is submerged into the water, you will notice that it displaces water, showing that the air inside the balloon is taking up space.


How does temperature affect the size of a balloon?

When the temperature is colder the particles in the balloon travel slower, making the balloon not able to increase in size it decreases.When the temperature is hot it allows the balloon to expand because the particles in the balloon are moving rapidly. in conclusion the the cold makes the balloon decrease in size and the heat allows it to expand.
