How a hot air balloon operate?

A hot air balloon works by heating the air inside the balloon to make it less dense and more buoyant than the surrounding air. This allows the balloon to float upwards. By controlling the temperature of the air inside the balloon, the pilot can control the altitude of the balloon. Steering is done by moving the balloon up or down to catch the wind currents that will take it in the desired direction.

Does a hot air balloon need CO2 to lift?

No, a hot air balloon does not need CO2 to lift. Hot air balloons work on the principle that hot air is less dense than cooler air, causing it to rise. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes lighter than the surrounding air, allowing the balloon to lift off the ground.
