A hot air balloon is hollow (naturally) and is filled with the hot air that gives the balloon lift. By Surfing the web a bit, one can probably find a picture that gives at least a partial view of the inside. I would doubtless have been taken by someone in the basket of the balloon, but there may be a shot of a an airborne balloon at low altitude taken by someone on the ground.
What else can I help you with?
How does a hot air balloon look like?
A hot air balloon typically consists of a large, colorful, tear-shaped envelope filled with hot air, connected to a basket or gondola where passengers and the pilot stand. The envelope is inflated above the basket, and as the air inside is heated, the balloon rises into the sky.
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.
How do hot air balloons trap air inside?
Hot air balloons work by heating the air inside the balloon envelope using a propane burner. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes lighter and less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise. The envelope of the balloon is sealed, which allows the hot air to be trapped inside and keep the balloon aloft.
Will a difference in air temperature affect the size of a balloon?
Yes, a difference in air temperature can affect the size of a balloon. When air temperature increases, the air inside the balloon expands, causing the balloon to inflate. Conversely, when air temperature decreases, the air inside the balloon contracts, causing the balloon to deflate.
Why a hot air balloon rises up when it lights its burner?
When you light the burner of a hot air balloon, the balloon itself, the big bag-like part, fills with hot air which is less dense than the air in the surrounding atmosphere. The air being less dense inside means the molecules are spread apart further that normal, so it rises and, being inside the bag-like part of the balloon, it brings the balloon, the basket, and the basket's contents with it.
Is an air inside a balloon a pure substance?
The air inside a hot air balloon is the same as normal air around the balloon and the air you're breathing, only heated by the flame inside the balloon, hence HOT AIR balloon.
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.
When is the density of the air inside a hot air balloon greatest?
The density of the air inside a hot air balloon is greatest when the air inside is coolest. As the air inside the balloon is heated, it expands and becomes less dense compared to the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.
What physical change happens when you put a balloon in the freezer?
The air inside the balloon will contract, so the balloon will tend to look slightly crinkled.
How does the volume in a hot air balloon change?
The volume of a hot air balloon increases as the air inside the balloon expands when it is heated. As the balloon ascends and the air temperature decreases, the volume of the air inside the balloon decreases as well. The pilot can control the altitude of the balloon by controlling the temperature of the air inside.
Wherever the balloon is what can you say about the pressure of the air inside and outside the balloon?
Usually, the air pressure inside a balloon is very high because the plastic outer shell of a balloon wants to contract and press the air into a small space. High in the atmosphere, air pressure is much lower than on the ground. When the air pressure outside a balloon is bigger than the air pressure inside, the balloon switches from wanting to push in on the air to the air pushing on the balloon. as this happens to some parts of a balloon and not others, it is uneven and the balloon pops.Answer:There are two distinct cases:For child's rubber balloon the air inside is at higher pressure because it is being squeezed by the rubber that wants to return to its original size. Just like you have to apply pressure to a rubber band to keep it stretched.In the case of hot air balloons the pressure on the inside of the balloon is the same as the atmospheric pressure. The balloon in this case is like an upside down bucket of air that would like to rise. It fills the container but shares the pressure of its surroundings.
How does a hot air balloon look like?

In a hot air balloon air is heated by a flame Explain how this enables the balloon to float?
Heating the air inside the balloon makes it less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to float upwards. As the air inside the balloon cools, it becomes denser and the balloon descends. The pilot can control the altitude by adjusting the temperature of the air inside the balloon.
What creates pressure inside of a balloon?
The pressure inside a balloon is created by the air molecules contained within the balloon pushing against the walls of the balloon. As more air is blown into the balloon, the number of air molecules increases, leading to a higher pressure inside the balloon.
What happens to air in a balloon?
When air is blown into a balloon, it fills the space inside. The pressure of the air increases, causing the balloon to expand. If the balloon is sealed, the air inside remains trapped, making the balloon float or hover depending on the amount of air inside.
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.
When the balloon is up in the air the burner is turned off and the balloon drifts along with the wind What will eventually happen to the air inside the balloon?
As the balloon cools down, the air inside will also cool. This will cause the air pressure inside the balloon to decrease, potentially leading to the balloon descending back to the ground due to the decreased pressure.
