It's a gas. The air molecules are free to move around anywhere in the balloon.

What would happen if cool air was put into a hot air balloon?
The balloon would just move throughout the air as it normally does. The troposphere is where all weather occurs and all life is. Also, it is the first and lowest layer of our atmosphere. So, everyone lives in the troposhere, and nothing would affect the flight of the balloon. It would be almost impossible to reach the stratosphere in a hot air balloon.
Could a helium balloon float all the way up into space?
NO! all gas's volume depends on temperature, as the balloon goes up, its volume decreases, resulting in it no longer floating after a certain hight, after that, it will come down and expand again, repeating this process until it losses enough air to land, or another factor interferes with it.
How is the alveolar surface area so large?
The alveoli are tiny little sacs with walls only one cell thick, and they fill all but the conducting portion of the lungs. Think about a single balloon filled with 1 liter of air. Now take 4 small balloons and fill them each with 250mL of air. The same amount of space will be taken up by the 4 smaller balloons as the 1 larger balloon, i.e. 1L, but the 4 smaller balloons have much greater surface area for gas diffusion.
What is in everything that takes up space?
Bosons, for example light particles (photons), don't take up space. Bosons and fermions are the two different classes of fundamental particles. Fermions take up space. Now particles with mass don't always take up space, for example the force carrier particles of the weak nuclear force, they are bosons and therefore take up no space but they are quite massive (for particles).
Is burning a balloon a physical or chemical change?
When thinking of a balloon, it's best to think of two different chemical compounds that do not mix, the balloon itself and air. What makes the balloon pop is that the pressure of the air exceeds the force of the chemical bonds of the balloon. In order for a chemical reaction to take place, you need to start off with one set of chemicals that become a new set of chemicals.However, when a balloon pops, no new chemicals are created. All that happens is that the electron bonds of the compound we know of as the balloon break.
What are examples of air taking up space?
Air is a combination of many gases, all of which are matter. The definition of matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. The obvious example is blowing up a balloon. The air occupies the space within the balloon and when enough air is packed into the balloon the membrane of the balloon stretches. This is because no two particles are able occupy the same space at the same time so the particles in the air begin to take up space.
Does air in a balloon have no measurable mass?
No, air is matter and all matter takes up space therefore, having a mass. You can find it by subtracting the mass of the balloon from the total mass of the balloon and the air. (You will need a very accurate scale.)
Does all matters fills space?
Not all occupies space, because air does not take space.
How long does it take to fly all around the world in a hot air balloon?

Does air have have mass?
Yes. Mass is a property of matter. All matter has mass. Air is matter in the gaseous phase. Anything that takes up space has matter. An atom takes up space, and air is made of atoms. (Oxygen, Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen mainly..) . So since it takes up space, it has mass. You can visualize this by simply blowing up a balloon. The balloon is empty at first. As you inflate the balloon with air from your lungs, the flexible sides of the balloon must expand to accommodate the increased volume of air. The more air you put in, the harder the air presses against the sides of the balloon, and the firmer the balloon gets. Pretty soon the balloon has stretched as far as it can, and then >bang<! The pressure of air is too much, and it bursts. If your Basketball is "flat", it simply doesn't have enough air inside it to keep it firm. More air = more pressure. So you can see clearly that "air", even though it is invisible, does indeed have mass.
Did the Montgolfier Brothers invent anything but the hot air balloon?
no... they invented the hot air balloon and that's all.
Describe an experiment to show air has mass?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. So, in order to prove that air is matter, we need to prove that air has mass and takes up space. It's easier to prove that air takes up space, so let's do that part of the problem first. Go and get a balloon. While you're at it, get two balloons. Go ahead and inflate the balloons with air. The balloons get larger as you put air into them. The only way that air could make them get larger is if air takes up space, so half of our proof is complete. Tie the balloons closed so that they stay inflated - we will need both balloons for the second half of this problem. Although air has mass, a small volume of air, such as the air in the balloons, doesn't have too much. Air just isn't very dense. We can show that the air in the balloon has mass by building a balance. For this, you will need a meter stick, some tape, some string and a sharp needle. Take some of the string and tie one end to the middle of the meter stick. Take the other end of the string and tape it to the top of a table or a counter, just make certain that the meter stick is free to move around. Tie a section of string to each balloon. On one balloon, make an "X" with two pieces of tape (if you want to be fair, you can make a tape "X" on the second balloon as well, but we really only need one). Take the balloons and tie each one to the meter stick, one on each end of the meter stick. Balance the meter stick by repositioning the balloons, if necessary. So, at the moment, you should have two balloons hanging from a meter stick, one from each end. If one of the balloons changes mass, we will be able to tell because the meter stick will 'tilt' towards the more massive object. So, all you need to do is to let the air out of one of the balloons. Take the needle and CAREFULLY poke a hole in the center of the "X". You don't want to pop the balloon - you just want to make a hole so that the air will leak out. Hopefully, the tape will keep the balloon together... What happened? If all went well, one balloon lost its air in a very calm, controlled fashion without sending its balloon guts all over the room. The end of the meter stick with the deflated balloon should have risen into the air. It did this because there was less mass in the balloon after it deflated. The only way the balloon could have lost mass is if the air that was inside it has mass. ===== With this experiment you have shown that air takes up space and has mass, so you have proven that air is matter.
Why doesn't cold air takes up space?
Cold air does take up space. All matter does.Cold air just takes up less space than warm air.
Why do balloons pop in the sun?
a balloon when touches with grass it does not always pop But when the balloon is popped by a object it is because the object is pressing against the balloon with force in a small space which penetrates the the balloon the air in the balloon all wanted to get out of the balloon when the force is too great it popps in certain directions
Is a hot air balloon a chemical change?
not at all
What is the difference in the height of the balloon after ten minutes and the height of the balloon after sixty minutes?
There is no difference at all if the balloon is not inflated or inflated with air.
How do you lower a hot air balloon?
There is a flap in the top of the balloon that you open to let the hot air out and the balloon gets lower. Or, you can just wait a little bit, the air cools down, and it goes down, all by itself!
