Hot air balloons can reach great altitudes but it all depends on how comfortable you want the ride to be and whether you are carrying oxygen or not. For the most part the lower the altitude the better you will be able to see around you. So you will select an altitude that avoids obstructions and gives you enjoyment at the same time.

Height of a hot air balloon?
The height of a hot air balloon can vary depending on factors like the temperature of the air inside the balloon and external wind conditions. Typically, hot air balloons can reach altitudes of 1,000 to 3,000 feet above ground level during a typical flight. Pilots can control the height by adjusting the temperature of the air inside the balloon.
When was the first sucsessful hot air balloon flight?
The first untethered manned flight in a hot air balloon was accomplished on Novemebr 21, 1873, in Paris, France.
Did the Chinese invent the hot air balloon?
The Chinese did not invent the hot air balloon. The first recorded flight of a hot air balloon was in 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France.
What is a hot air balloon?
At the end of a hot air balloon flight the heated air inside is allowed to escape through a panel that is opened either in the top or side of the balloon envelope. The crew then squeezes the remaining air our of the envelope and then packs it away in a large bag ready for the next flight. This process is called deflating the balloon
Who made first balloon flight in what year did the flight take place?
The first balloon flight was made by the Montgolfier brothers, Joseph-Michel and Jacques-Étienne, in 1783. The flight took place in France and marked the beginning of manned flight in a hot air balloon.

What is the difference in the height of the balloon after ten minutes and the height of the balloon after sixty minutes?
There is no difference at all if the balloon is not inflated or inflated with air.
Can you bring an air compressor on a flight?
no it is a balloon
How is density related to the flight of a hot air balloon?
Density is inversely related to the flight of a hot air balloon. As the density of the air inside the balloon decreases, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise. This is because the buoyant force on the balloon is greater than its weight.
Why will a hot air balloon rise and then float at a certain height in air?
increasing altitude decreases air pressure, this pressure gradient with gravity decides if things sink or float. heating the air in the balloon decreases the weight of the balloon and allows the downward pressure from above plus the weight of the balloon to be less than the upward air pressure from below. hence the balloon rises due to this force imbalance. the balloon reaches a constant height when all three are equal

What atmospheric conditions might affect the flight of a hot air balloon?
High winds, thunderstorms, or very cold air would have a detrimental effect on any hot air balloon flight.
How does balloon flight work?
By using a heat burner, hte balloon pilot makes the air in the balloon lighter than normal air. Then the balloon moves upward and moves with the wind.
Did the Chinese invent the hot air balloon?
The Chinese did not invent the hot air balloon. The first recorded flight of a hot air balloon was in 1783 by the Montgolfier brothers in France.

Was a cow and a sheep the first animals to ride in a hot air balloon?
This is a common mistake, the first animal to ride in a hot air ballon was a gorrila named "Heasman", he was choosen to go up in the hot air balloon due to his height of 3ft 2.
