Why is an hot air balloon called a hot air balloon?
Because the fire or heating device heats the air in the top section ( the actual balloon ) and hot air rises... so the hot air trapped in the balloon makes the balloon rise :)
When does a hot air balloon rise?
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.
Why does the heating of gas cause a hot air balloon to rise?
Because hot air rises and a hot air balloon utilizes this. As the hot air rises it lifts the balloon so that it lifts off from the ground. And the reason why the hot air balloon has a burner, the thing that is connected to the balloon itself and shoots flame into it, is because the hot air inside the balloon begins to cool causing it to fall so the burner reheats the air so that it doesn't return back to the ground.
How does a hot air balloon go in the air?
Well it has a gas fueled flame and the flames heat makes the balloon part fill up with hot air. Hot air rises so the hot air balloon will float into the sky like a helium balloon would.
What make a hotair balloon go up?
Hot air goes into the balloon. sense the air is so hot, it pushes the balloon off the ground and floats in the air!

How a hot air balloon rises?
The hot air is less dense than the air surrounding the balloon, so it floats in the surrounding air.

Why did the montgolfer brothers invent the hot air balloon?
Because their life ambition was to learn how to fly 'like birds' and the hot air balloon was their discovery. It was based on the theory that hot air rises. This is why hot air balloons are so big because just to lift a small amount of weight there has to be a lot of air.

How does a hot air balloon float even though it is so heavy?
Well the basic answer is that when the balloon is 'floating' it is not heavy. The hot air inside the balloon is less dense and therefore lighter than the ambient air. The hotter it is, the lighter it is. When the weight loss of the air inside the balloon is equivalent to the weight of the balloon and equipment, passengers, etc., then it will float. The weight reduction of heated air is quite small which is why balloons have to be so big.
Are there hot air balloon tours in California?
yes there hot air balloon tours in California. It was looking so great
Why does heating the air in hot air balloon make it rise?
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).
Why does a hot air balloon float even though it is so heavy?
Relatively hot air balloon are pretty light, and they have a very large balloon which is filled with hot air, which naturally rises, and if you contain enough of it it is enough to lift the balloon.
Why does hot air balloon need fire so that it can fly?
To produce the 'hot air' that goes inside the balloon to make it fly.
