When air gets hotter, or when any gas gets hotter, it expands. This means its density will decrease; therefore, cooler (and heavier) air will push it up.

Hot-air balloons can rise up into the air because hot air is lighter, allowing it to float up into the sky.


Will a balloon rise higher with hot air or cold air?

Hot air


Why would heating the gas in balloon make the balloon 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.


Does heat rise or hot air rise?

Hot air rises. As air is heated, it becomes less dense and therefore more buoyant, causing it to rise. This is due to a difference in temperature creating a temperature gradient, leading to the movement of air.

How does hot air rise?

Hot air rises because it is less dense than cold air.


Why does cold or hot air rise?

Cold air is denser than hot air, so it is heavier and sinks while hot air is lighter and rises. This movement is known as convection, where the warmer air displaces the cooler air, causing it to rise.


What kind gas is used in hot air balloon?

No Gas Just hot air which is why it is called a hot air balloon. If you were wondering hot air is lighter than cold air which makes it rise so when it is trapped inside the balloon the whole thing will rise.
