To rise, they need something to float on - i.e., air.

Which gas is in balloons that rise to the ceiling?
Generally, it is helium. Hydrogen could work, but that would be dangerous.
What makes a balloon rise?
hydrogen
What makes a balloon float?
All balloons do not float. Those that do are filled with a gas that is less dense than the surrounding air, so that is is displaced upward by weight of the denser air. Small balloons are typically filled with helium, a much lighter gas than the nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere. Larger balloons may be filled with heated air, which occupies a greater volume and is therefore "lighter" than air outside the balloon. Some dirigibles (airships) were filled with the lighter but flammable gas hydrogen. Hydrogen can be split from water and used to fill thin plastic bags, which will also rise into the air like balloons.
What 2 things that use hot air to rise?
hot-air balloons and birds in flight.
Why are hot air balloons able to rise into the air?
The hot air from the burner rises since it has little density, and then is caught in the balloon, which causes it to rise.
Which gas is in balloons that rise to the ceiling?
Generally, it is helium. Hydrogen could work, but that would be dangerous.
How do balloons float?
Balloons that are filled with hot air, hydrogen, or helium will float, or rise upward, because the less-dense gases inside them are displaced by the heavier air around them. Balloons will only rise until the gas density inside them is equal to the density outside. In the case of helium balloons, this may be above the elastic limit of the balloon, and it will pop or leak.
What the purpose of the gas Hydrogen?
Hydrogen is the lightess, but most common element in the galaxy. It can be used to make balloons rise, be burned to give off heat, or burned to give engine thrust.
Are balloons magnetic?
No, balloons are not magnetic. If they rise, that has nothing to do with magnetism.
What element is colorless gas and used in balloons?
'Helium' because it is also an INERT (Noble) gas. Hydrogen could be used to make the balloon float/rise, but hydrogen is a flammable gas. On explosion you will have a flash of flame.
Does helium rise?
yes honey, that's why hot air balloons rise
What is the element used to fill balloons that rise?
heeleeum
Why do you think hot-air balloons can rise into the air?
Hot-air balloons can rise up into the air because hot air is lighter, allowing it to float up into the sky.
Will a balloon rise if the air inside is hot?
The heating of the air through the use of a burner is what makes balloons rise.
You are in-charge of inflating the parade balloons You just learned that the temperature will rise 15 degrees celsius between morning and the time parade starts.How will this affect inflating balloons?
the balloons will pop.
How high do hot air balloons go up?
they contain helium molecules which are lighter than the air we breath making the balloons rise
Is Hydrogen gas lighter than air or heavier than air?
Hydrogen gas is 16x lighter than air. The atomic weight of Hydrogen is 1 atomic mass unit, and the atomic weight of oxygen is 16 atomic mass units. 602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 hydrogen molecules would weigh 1 gram. The same amount of oxygen would weigh 16 grams. Clarification: The air we breath is actually a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. But in this example, I treated it as pure oxygen to keep things simple.
