What else can I help you with?
Can a air balloon float in the atmosphere of mars?
NASA is thinking it can.
Why can't a hot air balloon float in outer space?
A hot air balloon requires air to generate lift. In outer space, there is no air or atmosphere, so there is nothing for the hot air balloon to displace to generate lift, causing it to be unable to float.
Would a hot air balloon work on the moon?
No, the Moon has no atmosphere. The hot air does not have the colder air to be lighter than! Such a balloon would work on Mars or some moons of the larger planets which have some kind of an atmosphere.
What force makes a hot air balloon rise?
A hot air balloon rises due to the principle of buoyancy. As the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to float upwards. This effect is similar to how a helium balloon rises in the atmosphere.
How can a balloon fly?
A balloon flies by being filled with a gas that is lighter than the air around it, such as helium or hot air. This makes the balloon buoyant in the atmosphere, causing it to rise and float. The movement of air currents and the design of the balloon also play a role in its ability to fly.
Can a air balloon float in the atmosphere of mars?
NASA is thinking it can.
Can a hot air balloon float up to the moon?
No, because the atmosphere would pop the balloon.
Could you use helium to float an item into space?
No, air pressure increases as the balloon goes up, so the balloon will pop and fall to the ground. You can get high up in the atmosphere (but you need a LOT of helium and a balloon that can get VERY big) you will not reach "outer" space beyond the Earth's atmosphere.
Why can't a hot air balloon float in outer space?
A hot air balloon requires air to generate lift. In outer space, there is no air or atmosphere, so there is nothing for the hot air balloon to displace to generate lift, causing it to be unable to float.
How does a hot air balloon float with people in it?
Just the density difference between the balloon and surrounding atmosphere is so great that the balloon is able to lift itself and people.
Why doesnt a balloon float with your air?
A balloon does not float with your breath because the air you blow into it is denser than the surrounding air. To make a balloon float, you need to use a lighter gas, such as helium, which is less dense than the surrounding air and creates enough lift to keep the balloon suspended.
Can a lead balloon float?
No... it wouldn't even survive the conditions of the upper atmosphere, unless it was a very tough balloon.. even if it could I'm assuming eventually the atmosphere would reduce to a point where it was as dense as helium or hydrogen (the gas I'm assuming would make your balloon float) and your balloon would stop anyway at a maximum altitude. Either way.. after that, the balloon would have to break away from Earth's gravity (not easy) and then somehow cover 382500km or so to get to the Moon itself..
Does a balloon float or sink on water and why?
A balloon filled with air will float on water because it is less dense than water. The buoyant force acting on the balloon allows it to float.
Why do you have to hang onto your helium balloon?
Helium is lighter than air, so it makes the balloon float. If you let go of the balloon, it will float up into the atmosphere because of the difference in density between the helium inside the balloon and the air outside.
Why do helium balloons float?
Helium balloons float because helium gas is lighter than the surrounding air. This causes the balloon to be buoyant and rise up in the atmosphere.
What happens when a helium-filled balloon is released and rises into the atmosphere?
As the helium-filled balloon rises into the atmosphere, the surrounding air pressure decreases while the pressure inside the balloon remains the same. This causes the helium inside the balloon to expand, making the balloon increase in size. Eventually, the balloon will reach a point where the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon will be equal, and it will float at that altitude.
Would a hot air balloon work on the moon?
No, the Moon has no atmosphere. The hot air does not have the colder air to be lighter than! Such a balloon would work on Mars or some moons of the larger planets which have some kind of an atmosphere.
