What is in a hot air balloon to make it fly?
Hot air balloons fly due to the principle of buoyancy. Heated air inside the balloon is lighter than the cooler air surrounding it, causing the balloon to rise. The burner inside the balloon heats the air, which expands and becomes less dense, lifting the balloon off the ground.
Why was the airplane harder to invent than the hot air balloon?
The balloon is lighter than air.
What kind gas is used in hot air balloon?
No Gas Just hot air which is why it is called a hot air balloon. If you were wondering hot air is lighter than cold air which makes it rise so when it is trapped inside the balloon the whole thing will rise.
Why does heating the air in hot air balloon make it rise?
Hot air is lighter than cold air, so cold air sinks and hot air rises; that makes the hot air balloon rise (if the air around the hot air balloon is heated as well, it won't rise, or sink if in the air).
What causes a hot air balloon to stay afloat?
A hot air balloon stays afloat because hot air inside the balloon is less dense than the surrounding cooler air, creating lift. As the air inside the balloon is heated, it expands and becomes lighter, causing the balloon to rise. By controlling the amount of hot air in the balloon, the pilot can control the altitude.
Why was the airplane harder to invent that the hot air balloon?
Balloon is lighter than air.
Why does it have to be hot air and not cold inside the envelope of a hot air balloon?
hot air rises; it is lighter than cool air It does not have to be Hot Air inside the balloon, unless you want that Balloon to rise up.Hot Air is less dense than Cold Air and hence the former is lighter.

What keeps a hot air balloon aloft?
Hot air is lighter. See the related link.
Why was the airplane harder to invent than the hot air balloon?
The balloon is lighter than air.
How does heat affect flight?
Hot air is lighter than cold air. If you fill a balloon with hot air, the air inside will be lighter than the air outside and therefore the balloon will rise (until the air inside gets cold again).
What kind of energy does a hot air balloon have?
The hot air has thermal energy, and when the balloon is up in the air, it also has gravitational potential energy.
What kind gas is used in hot air balloon?
No Gas Just hot air which is why it is called a hot air balloon. If you were wondering hot air is lighter than cold air which makes it rise so when it is trapped inside the balloon the whole thing will rise.
What causes hot air balloons to fly?
Hot air balloons fly because of the principle of buoyancy. The balloon is filled with hot air, which is lighter than the surrounding cooler air. This temperature difference creates lift, causing the balloon to rise. By controlling the temperature of the air inside the balloon, the pilot can control the altitude.
Did Marie Antoinette fly in a lighter that air balloon?
No. The first hot air balloon was in 1783, but she did the witness of the launch of one.
How have you used the properties of gas in regards to an hot air balloon?
It is lighter than air
