Hot air balloons are typically heated using propane, which is burned in a burner system. The propane gas is ignited to produce a flame that heats the air inside the balloon's envelope, causing it to become less dense than the cooler air outside. This difference in density allows the balloon to rise and float in the atmosphere. The pilot can control the altitude by adjusting the flame to maintain the desired temperature of the air inside the envelope.

What fuel is used in hot air balloons?

Propane. This is what makes the flame that heats the air in the balloon.


Which gas do you use for hot air balloons?

Hot air balloons typically use propane gas as a fuel source for the burner that heats the air inside the balloon envelope. The propane is burned to heat the air, which causes the balloon to rise.


How hot is the heat inside a hot air balloon?

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


What kind of fuel is used for the hot air balloon?

Propane gas is used to fuel the burners that heat the air inside the balloon.A hot air balloon is filled with regular air that's heated by a propane burner. This heated air has a lower density than the air outside the ballon, thus allowing the filled balloon to be buoyant.


Would a hot air balloon pilot heat or cool the air in the balloon to make it rise?

He would heat it.


Does a hot air balloon need heat or cold air to float?

hot


Does a hot air balloon have a?

no, it is powered by heat. heat rises.


How does a hot air balloon stays in the air?

A hot air balloon can stay in the air because the hot air is less dense than cool air. The hot air that is blown into the balloon causes it to rise and a burner is used to heat the air inside of the balloon to keep it floating.


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.


What type of gas is used in a hot air balloon?

A hot air balloon is normally powered with propane. Other than that, it is just ordinary air used inside the balloon.


What kind of heat lifts a hot air balloon?

hot fire


How do hot air air balloons fly?

In a hot air balloon, a gas burner is used to heat air to a temperature of about 212°F (100°C). Since hot air is lighter and less dense than the cool air around the balloon, the heated air causes the whole balloon to rise. When the air inside the balloon cools down, or when the hot air is let out, the balloon goes down. A hot air balloon is powered by hot air, hot air is lighter (less dense) then the air outside of the balloon (More dense) Heat rises, so the heated air, pushes up into the balloon allowing the balloon to lift. The more heat, the faster it will go, the less heat, the slower it will go, until it starts to descend. Decent is relatively slow, because the air is slowly cooling, however the cooler the air the faster the decent is. To avoid rapid falling, heat it applied to reheat the air so the decent goes slowly.
