Want this question answered?
Eventually the air outside becomes thinner than the air in the balloon, so it can no longer float
The density of hot air is lower than air at low altitudes, but the air at higher altitudes is very thin. A hot air balloon can only rise until its density equals the surrounding air.
This is due to the thinness of the atmosphere at high altitudes (e.g. the top of a mountain). The thinness is caused by the loss of molecules to space due to the slight lessening of gravity's pull at high altitudes.
Cirrocumulus cloud is a clous that often appears at high altitudes.
They fly at low altitudes because if you fly too high, the balloon may pop. A2: Above seems unlikely, as the balloon is open at its lower end. Mainly I think because they are generally used for passenger viewing flights and the general public would not have the clothing for high altitudes as well as not wanting to be very high since the purpose of the flight is to view the terrain below. The balloon works by making the air inside hotter and less dense than the surrounding air, so as it rises it needs to use more fuel to achieve this as the surrounding air gets less dense. There must be an effective max height for hot air balloons but I don't know what the record is.

To enable the gases inside the balloon to expand which they do when the balloon reaches high altitudes. At this point the balloon becomes much larger.
because ok high altitudes

due to principle of bernoulis.........

just high altitudes
The air is thicker at lower altitudes, we know that sound travels much better when it can move through solid mass. As you climb, the air starts to get thinner. It becomes much more difficult to do anything at high altitudes, including keeping a plane aloft, keeping warm, and of course projecting sound.
Well a simple answer would be that if a plane is not pressurized, on high altitudes or just very high in the sky, the plane will expand like a balloon and if it expands to much, big problems happen and I don't really know how it is pressurized but the air inside the plane is usually very different than the air outside the plane, at high altitudes.
It is not so much as the composition that is important, it is that at higher altitudes there is less air. Air is about 20% oxygen, but the higher up you go in altitude, the thinner air will have less oxygen. That's what makes breathing more difficult at higher altitudes.
One difference n the life style of people living in high altitudes instead of low altitudes is weight. People living in high altitudes are typically not over weight. They also have less heart disease
