Heat causes substances to expand. When left in the sun the air inside the beach ball will expand. If the air expands enough it will burst the beach ball.

Balloon burst when it is kept in sun because the air inside the balloon gets heated. Hot air expands, thus the pressure inside the balloon increases when it is kept on sun until the balloon bursts.

The sun heats up the air in the ball. The as the air heats up pressure inside the ball increases and ties to make the ball expand some more. when the ball can't expand anymore it pops.

any easy way to see this happening is to blow up a balloon and put it in the fridge. as the air in the balloon cools down it will get smaller. when you bring it out of the fridge you will be able to watch it expand.

Why inflated balloon cannot fit into your bag?

because the air inside the balloon take up the space and it will not allow the balloon to fit in bag


In which one way the balloon changes when it is left in a sunny place?

we all know that the kinetic energy of the molecules in a gas is very large so ,when the balloon is kept in the sun the air inside it gets heated and the molecules move further apart resulting in the bursting of the balloon.Sometimes it melts depending on the heat of the sun however if the sun is very hot, the balloon may pop.Balloons are usually made from latex which if it was to be left simply laying out in the sun would would possibly get so hot that it would start to melt. However if you were to inflate it before doing so the air inside would expand enlarging the balloon until it bursts assuming the balloon was well inflated in the first place.Iy will expand if the air is heated.


A balloon is blown up and put into a fridge what will happen to the siz of the balloon?

If the balloon is filled with water, and the water freezes, the balloon will expand and may burst. This is because at temperatures below 4ºC, water begins to expand and as it turns to ice, it has a larger volume than when it was liquid.


What happens if you heat a balloon?

If you gradually heat a balloon, then the gas inside the balloon will expand, causing the balloon to become bigger in volume.If you put a balloon above a flame, then the balloon will pop because the heat will weaken bonds in the polymer that makes up the balloon, thus the polymer will not be able to hold the pressure of the gas inside the balloon.

When a balloon rises high into the air it will expand and often will burst why?

A combination of heat from the sun and the lower pressure of the surrounding air the higher you go, causes the gas in the balloon to expand. Along with the sunlight weakening the balloon material, it will burst.

Why balloon kept in sun burst after some time?

pressure x volume divided by temperature is a constant (Boyle's Law), or PV/T = constant. Since pressure does not change, as temperature increases so must the volume, so the balloon expands


Why do toy balloons burst when placed under the hot sun?

This is because the gas inside the balloon expands due to the heat of the sun. Gases expand the most on heating. The volume of the gas becomes more then the volume of the inflated balloon and thus it burts.
