Why does a helium balloon collapse when taken outside into the cold?

At a colder temperature, the gas takes up less volume. Other things (especially pressure) being equal, the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (the temperature in Kelvin). A real gas will have a behavior similar to an ideal gas, under normal circumstances.

Inflated balloon that is taken from a heated roomto a cold outdoor?
The balloon will shrink when it goes outside. How much it shrinks will depend on the temperature difference. As temperature decreases the gas(ses) in the balloon decrease in volume causing the balloon to shrink.
What happens to the temperature and the volume of an inflated balloon if it is taken outside on a cold winter day?
The internal air would cool down and contract (lessen) the balloon's volume.
What would happen to party balloons that are inflated at room temperature and taken outside on a winters day?
When the temperature drops gases contract, so the balloon would be less inflated. This is the same reason why tire pressure drops when it gets cold outside.
What would cause a balloon to expand if taken to the of a mountain?
Lowered Pressure
Can a force change the volume of an object?
Yes, a force can change the volume of an object. Some objects are not very compressible, but some are. A balloon might be an example of the latter. With a balloon, the less the pressure on the outside, the larger the volume taken up by the gas inside as the balloon expands. When we launch high altitude balloons, we fill them with enough helium to get them going, and as they get higher in the atmosphere where air pressure is less, the balloon expands. The gas inside is taking up more volume. In a less dramatic example, if we take a rubber ball and attach it to a deep diving submarine or ROV (remotely operated vehicle), it will be compressed by the increasing water pressure as the ball descends. Nothing is totally resistant to a change in force, but some things react a great deal more than others. A block if steel won't be compressed very much, even if it is lying on the ocean floor. But is it slightly smaller in volume there than it would be at the surface.

What happens to the volume of a balloon that is taken outside on a cold?
As we know, Charles's Law states that for a fixed amount of gas at a constant pressure, the volume of the gas changes in the same way that the temperature of the gas changes. So, if a balloon is taken outside on a cold winter day, which means in a low temperature, the volume will also decrease due to the lower temperature.
Does helium have a shape?
Helium is a gas and will take the shape of the container it is taken
Why was the helium symbol chosen?
The symbol was taken from the first two letters of the element, Helium
What is the partial pressure of helium?
The pressure that there would be if all the non-helium atoms and molecules were taken away.
What happens to a balloon if taken to a top of a mountain?
It pops

When the temperature drops gases contract, so the balloon would be less inflated. This is the same reason why tire pressure drops when it gets cold outside.
Examples of charles' Law?
Charles law states that if the temperature of a gas increases, then the volume increases (and the opposite a.k.a. temp. goes down, volume goes down). Imagine a balloon filled with helium on a cold winter day. While you are in the shop, the balloon is normal. As you step outside the balloon begins to shrivel up. This happens because of the temp. of the helium in the balloon deceases and becomes less dense, because the helium particles lose energy and become more concentrated, decreasing the volume. But when you put the balloon in a warm area, it goes back to its original size. I hope this helped you.
