Early explorers on hot air balloon trips typically took equipment such as maps, compasses, telescopes, and a barometer for navigation and scientific observations. They also carried provisions like food, water and clothing, as well as tools for repairs and landing gear in case of emergency. The gondola would also have been equipped with safety equipment such as ropes, sandbags, and fire extinguishers.

Where does air go in a balloon?

When you inflate a balloon, the air goes inside the balloon and fills it up. The air molecules push against the walls of the balloon, causing it to expand and take on its inflated shape.


Why and how does a hot air balloon fly?

Air expands when it is heated. This makes it less dense than colder air. Hence, it has buoyancy, and tends to rise. If it is trapped in a balloon, it can take the balloon up with it, along with things attached to the balloon, as long as the buoyancy of the balloon exceeds the attached weight.


What would happen to an air up balloon if you take it up on a high mountain?

The balloon would get larger as the air pressure outside it dropped. At some height, the balloon would get large enough to burst.


Why do hot air balloons launch early in the morning?

A balloon is usually launched in the morning in order to take adventage of the rising air temperature. As long as the temperature is rising, the balloon will need less assistance from the burning fuel to stay aloft. Less fuel burned means less fuel needs to be carried, which further reduces the effort needed to lift the balloon.
