Suppose you inflate a partyballon and then carry it high in the atmosphere what will happen to the balloon?

It would pop.


Where do weather balloons go?

Once the balloon gets high enough in the atmosphere, the ambient atmospheric pressure becomes very low (say 20mb = 2000Pa). There is a pressure gradient force from the high pressure of the air inside the balloon to the air in the environment outside of the balloon, working across the balloon material. Once this PGF becomes stronger than the tension of the balloon material, the balloon will pop.


Can a hot air balloon float up to the moon?

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.


What would happen to the volume of a balloon if pressure increased?

It gets bigger because as it gets higher, the density of the atmosphere will rise when the density inside the balloon stays the same. Then because of pressure, it will get bigger and eventually pop.


Why would a balloon filled with hydrogen on the surface pop 1km in the atmosphere?

The air pressure got to be less. The balloon expanded to the breaking point.


If you put a blown up balloon into a two liter bottle and poke a nail inside the balloon will it pop?

Why do balloons pop in the sun?
