At ground level its density is less than the air around it, so it rises, as the altitude increases air density decreases, when the density of the balloon and the air are equal it stops rising.

Why does a balloon filled with helium gas rise to a particular height and doesn't rise further?

That is because the Pressure inside the balloon caused by the filled pressure reached equilibrium at this point based on the height so can rise no longer.

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.


Average height of water balloon burst?

That depends. If you throw it up into a tree then it will burst up high. If you throw it into the ground then it will burst low.


How does a hot air balloon stop at the height is supposed to?

as the hot air balloon rises, the air in the balloon begins to cool and since the mass that it's lifting (passengers, basket, and the heater (don't know the name)) ,it will reach a point where the density of the hotter air will not pull it any further up, but the mass cannot pull it down to the ground. it then comes down to the operator using only enough throttle to keep the hot air at this temperature.


If two stones one big and one small are dropped at the same time which one will reach the ground first?

depends on what is done with the long balloon, more itracate balloon animals will deflate faster than a simple balloon animal


Does gravity affect a hot air balloon?

Yes. Without gravity, a hot air balloon would rise infinitely. You could never return to the ground. Balloons tend to hover more or less. The force of the air pushing up on the balloon and the force of gravity pulling down on the balloon are usually very close to one another. This keeps the balloon at a steady height, unless you heat the air in the balloon, or let it cool.


Height of a hot air balloon?

the height depends on how much gas the burner is releasing/using. Do you know how much, and also do you know how heavy the hot air balloon is?

Why does a partially inflated weather balloon expand as it rises?

As height is gained the outside air pressure on the balloon is reduced. This reduction allows the gas inside the balloon to expand.
