It's because the water inside the balloon absorbs the heat of the fire. If you hold it there long enough the water inside will boil and then it will pop, because the fire will start getting attracted to the heat, so then all the water will get enough of holding on, and then it will pop(the balloon).
Water is a very great substance for soaking up any kind of heat. The thin balloon allows the warm heat to pass through very quickly and warm the cold water. As the water closes up to the flame as it heats up, it begins to rise and cooler water replaces it at the bottom of the balloon. This cooler water then soaks up more heat and the process repeats itself. In fact, the exchange of water happens so often that it keeps the balloon from ever popping!
The soot on the bottom of the balloon is actually carbon. The carbon was deposited on the balloon by the flame, and the balloon remains undamaged. I even tried this for a science fair, and it was pretty cool. I found it on the internet and stuff, it was plain cool. Like the judges were SO excited, and they were watching and watching and the balloon didn't pop. Then, finally, when I felt the balloon and it started getting warmer, I explained why it was getting warm, and the judges loved how I presented. You should try it for a science fair, who knows, you might win!

∙ 10y agoThat is because when the heat transfers to the inside balloon eventually it will start boiling inside which will cause it to pop

Why wont balloons pop when over fire when there is water in it?
Inside the balloon with no water at all, the intense heat from the hot fire will melt the surface of the balloon. The pressure inside the balloon is so big that the balloon deflate and POP! With water, the water conducts the fire away from the balloon so the suface may not reach high tempertures. The balloon is remained inflated.
Why does a balloon filled with air and no water pop when placed over a flame?
If a balloon is filled with water, it becomes less susceptible to being popped over a flame, because the water can absorb some of the heat. Otherwise, the flame will rapidly destroy the material of the balloon (rubber, latex).
How do you separate peas and sand?
Dump it in water. Pepper floats, sand sinks. This works but you can also try using a balloon. Fill the balloon with air then rub it on your hair. Then move it around slowly over the mixture the pepper will cling to the balloon and the sand will not.
What will happen to filled up water balloons in a cooler over night?
Depending on how cold the cooler is, the water balloon what shrink from the cold and the water would remain liquid, or it would freeze and probably burst.
What must be done to oxygen and hydrogen to change them in liquids?
If you mean the individual gases you will need to apply pressure and or reduce the temperature to liquefy the gases. If you mean by forming a compound react them together. The end product is water which is liquid at room temperature and pressure.

How can a hot air balloon be dangerous?
it is full of gases and fire if it where to tip over it would start on fire just put it that way.
How do you fill water balloons with water?
Stretch the mouth of the deflated water balloon over a tap or other pressurized water source. Turn on the tap so that water rushes into the balloon. Once filled, twist the balloon at the neck a few times. This way water does not escape when you remove the mouth of the balloon from the tap. Once removed, tie the twisted neck of the balloon in a knot to prevent water from escaping.
What happens to a balloon stretched over an empty bottle when the bottle is placed in hot water?
when you but the bottle in hot water the balloon particles push apart and cause expansion
What happens to a car when the fuel pump doesnt work?

Does chocolate melt faster in boiled water or over a fire?
The fire is hotter than the boiling water, so it will melt faster over a fire.
Why pouring water on to a chippan fire doesnt work?
The burning fat is much hotter than the boiling point of water so when you add water the water explodes into steam, shooting burning fat out of the chip pan into the air and round the kitchen. This spreads the fire. If you chip pan is on fire, turn off the source of heat. And place a damp teacloth or a lid over the chip pan leave and close the kitchen door and ring the fire brigade.
What will happen to the balloon stretched over the mouth of this empty bottle when the bottle is placed in hot water and what are all the energy transfers?
the balloon will start to blow up by the heat
