Why lighter than air balloons fly?

air balloons or hot air balloons fly because they fill with a very light type of air. The air is hot air.


Why do balloons float up into the air?

At a hot air balloon festival, hot air balloons slowly fill and then rise majestically in the predawn sky. These hot air balloons fly because of two fundamental principles of physics: the ideal gas law and Archimedes's principle.


What last longer helium fill balloon or hot air balloons?

Helium-filled balloons last longer than hot air balloons. Helium is a non-flammable, inert gas that does not expand or contract with temperature changes like hot air does. Hot air balloons require periodic reheating to maintain altitude, whereas helium balloons will gradually lose lift over time but can remain buoyant for days.


What types of hot air balloons are there?

There are traditional hot air balloons, special-shaped hot air balloons (such as animals, objects, or characters), and solar-powered hot air balloons that use solar energy to heat the air inside.


Where in the atmosphere do hot air balloons float?

Hot air balloons float because hot air displaces cool air in the atmosphere


When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air?

Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.


Which gas is used to fill balloons?

Helium is normally used in balloons that float. Helium is the second lightest gas. Hydrogen is lighter, but it is also flammable and thus dangerous.When normal air is used to fill a balloon, the balloon will not be buoyant.If you fill a balloon with air from your lungs, there is a bit more water vapor and a bit more carbon dioxide and a bit less oxygen in the air inside the balloon, but that has a small impact on the buoyancy.The larger balloons that carry people are called hot air balloons because they are filled with hot air. They are buoyant because the hot air is fractionally lighter than normal air but there is a lot of it.Weather balloons and party balloons both use helium gas.As long as the gas plus the balloon is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air.Helium is normally used in balloons that float.
