Why does a helium balloon go up?

A helium balloon floats because helium gas is lighter than air. By filling a balloon with helium, the balloon also becomes lighter than air. The helium balloon floats for the same reason that objects float on water: objects less dense than water are pushed up by buoyant forces equal to the weight of water displaced by that object. What happens in water also happens in air, and the helium balloon is pushed upwards by a force equal to the weight of air it displaces.

What allows objects float up in the water?

Density water having a density of 1.00 anything .99 or below will float and anything above will sink same scenario for oxygen and gasses for example helium has a lighter density than oxygen and that's why helium filled balloons float


Will warming helium balloons make them float?

Helium is lighter than air. so balloons filled with helium will float in air. warming will make them float or rise up faster.
