The same amount of air has a larger volume when heated than when cold. That means that the same amount of air heated has a lower density. This is where buoyancy comes into play.
From wikipedia:
"In physics, buoyancy is an upward force exerted by a liquid, gas or other fluid, that opposes the weight of an immersed object. In a column of fluid, pressure increases with depth as a result of the weight of the overlying fluid. Thus a column of fluid, or an object submerged in the fluid, experiences greater pressure at the bottom of the column than at the top. This difference in pressure results in a net force that tends to accelerate an object upwards. The magnitude of that force is proportional to the difference in the pressure between the top and the bottom of the column, and (as explained by Archimedes' principle) is also equivalent to the weight of the fluid that would otherwise occupy the column, i.e. the displaced fluid. For this reason, an object whose density is greater than that of the fluid in which it is submerged tends to sink. If the object is either less dense than the liquid or is shaped appropriately (as in a boat), the force can keep the object afloat."
Hot air is less dense compared to cold air. The heated air in the balloon will rise, making the balloon float in the air.to make it rise.
if you mean how the hot air in a hot air balloon makes it rise, its because hot air is less dense than cold air. when cold and hot air meet the cold air sinks thus making hot air left to rise.so when you put hot air in a balloon the air would rise. hope this helps.
The scientific principle that allows hot air balloons is the following.It's all in the name: hot air balloon. Hot air is blown into the opening at the bottom of the balloon. Because hot air is less dense than cold air, it rises. Since the balloon becomes filled with air that is less dense that that surrounding it, the balloon rises. If you want to make the hot air balloon rise faster, you have to either put less people in it or weigh it down less with less luggage or extra stuff.
The upthrust exerted by surrounding air on the balloon.
Hot air is less dense than cooler air, therefore the balloon will rise (float) on the cooler air around it.
When a hot air balloon is filled with the hot air the air around the balloon is a lot denser. So by convection the balloon rises and the less dense air is replaced by dense air underneath it.
The actual balloon isn't lighter than air, the only reason hot air balloons rise is because they are filled with hot air, which is lighter and less dense than cold air, causing it to rise. :)
no its filled with hot air from a fire that is lit underneath the balloon.
Hot air balloons are filled with hot air from a propane burner in the basket. Hot air rises. So provided the cooling air in the balloon is topped up from short blasts from the burner, the balloon will rise off the ground.
A weather balloon filled with hydrogen is also lighter than air, and will rise to great heights.
It is filled with heated air. Since air is mostly nitrogen, a hot air balloon is mostly filled with nitrogen.
to make a hot air balloon rise you use hot air
A hot air balloon rises because when hot air is added it is intended to rise and when the hot air balloons wants to land, hot air is decreased.
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.

Hot air is lighter than cold air, so cold air sinks and hot air rises; that makes the hot air balloon rise (if the air around the hot air balloon is heated as well, it won't rise, or sink if in the air).
One of the specific applications to Charles' Law is the Hot-Air Balloon, as the balloon is filled up with hot air, the rising temperature lowers the density of the balloon below atmospheric level helping the balloon to rise up into the air
