What are the particles on the inside and outside of a hot air balloon?

The inside particles of a hot air balloon are air molecules that are heated by the burner to make the balloon rise. The outside particles are also air molecules that create the lift force when the inside air is hotter than the outside air.


How hot is the heat inside a hot air balloon?

it is the same temperture as it is outside the air balloon:)


What temperature must it be outside for a balloon to float?

Outside temperature is largely immaterial. It is really the difference between the temperature inside and outside of the balloon envelope that generates the lift. If both are exactly the same, then the balloon will simply fall under gravity -- it has no buoyancy. As the inside temperature increases, so does its buoyancy. Eventually, the difference will be sufficient to overcome gravity, and the greater the difference, the faster it will rise. When the optimum altitude is achieved, the air inside is allowed to cool to an optimum level to maintain that altitude; the optimum temperature will vary according to the outside temperature and the weight of the balloon. The outside temperature will vary according to altitude, as will air pressure outside of the balloon, therefore there is no single answer to the question. It is the difference in temperature that is important, not the actual temperature.


How does a hot air balloon lift of the ground?

A hot air balloon lifts off the ground by heating the air inside the balloon using a propane burner. As the air inside the balloon heats up, it becomes less dense and expands, creating lift. The hot air inside the balloon is lighter than the cooler air outside, causing the balloon to rise.


What keeps air balloon inflated?

If you mean a hot air balloon, it is the expansion of the air caused by the propane burner. If you mean any balloon, it is the ability of the material to hold the air or gas inside which keeps it inflated.

When you heat the air inside a hot air balloon, it rises. Why does this occur?

D: The hot air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the air outside the balloon.


Why does an inflated balloon inflate inside a bell jar?

An inflated balloon will inflate inside a bell jar because the air pressure outside the balloon is reduced when the bell jar is sealed. This creates a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the balloon, causing the air inside the balloon to expand and inflate it.


Why you can smell perfume outside a balloon?

If perfume is sprayed inside a balloon and then the balloon is blown up, you can still smell the perfume from the outside of the balloon. This is because the material of the balloon is thin.


How does air escape a balloon?

Air escapes a balloon when the pressure inside the balloon is greater than the pressure outside, causing the air to flow out through the opening of the balloon. This process continues until the pressure inside and outside the balloon equalize.


Is the pressure of a balloon greater on the inside or outside?

The pressure of a balloon is greater on the inside because the gas molecules inside the balloon are constantly colliding with the walls of the balloon, creating the pressure that keeps the balloon inflated.


Why does a partially inflated balloon expand as it rises?

As the balloon rises, the air pressure outside the balloon decreases while the air pressure inside the balloon stays the same. This causes the balloon to expand because the higher pressure inside the balloon pushes against the lower pressure outside.


As a balloon rises does the presure inside the bag of balloon increases or decreases?

As a balloon rises, the pressure inside the balloon decreases. This is because the atmospheric pressure outside the balloon decreases with altitude, causing the balloon to expand as the pressure inside remains relatively constant.

Why does the pressure outside the balloon decrease as it rises?

The pressure outside the balloon doesn't change when the balloon rises. By a balloon rising, I assume that air is being placed into the balloon. As the balloon fills with air, the pressure inside the balloon will increase. Since the balloon can stretch, the increasing pressure against its inner walls will cause it to rise, or more correctly put, expand. Eventually, the balloon will be stretched to its fullest capacity if more air is placed inside it. When it pops, the bang you hear is the high pressure of the atmosphere inside the balloon equalizing with the lower pressure of the atmosphere outside the balloon.

How you know gas is inside the balloon?

If there were nothing inside the balloon - a vacuum - the balloon would quickly collapse due to the pressure of the atmosphere outside it. A firmer structure might resist the air pressure, but not a balloon.
