a hot air balloon virtually weighs negative lbs but it would depend on how hot the air is in the balloon.
Yes, hot air balloons are less dense and therefore buoyant ============================================ Hot air balloons are buoyant to the extent that the weight of the hot air in the balloon is lighter than the free air. When the difference is more than the weight of the balloon and its contents it will be buoyant and will ascend.
Hot air has density less than the air surrounding the balloon. When the average density of the balloon filled with hot air is less than the density of the air outside upthrust is more than the weight of the balloon. therefore it keeps on rising up till the upthrust becomes equal to the weight of the balloon.
A hot-air balloon rises because the air inside the balloon is heated, causing it to expand and become less dense than the cooler air outside. According to Archimedes' principle, the buoyant force acting on the balloon is greater than the weight of the balloon, allowing it to ascend. As the air inside the balloon cools or the weight increases, the balloon descends.
You change the volume or the weight of the balloon to raise it or lower it into air currents that are traveling where you want to go.
A hot air balloon rises into the air due to the principle of buoyancy. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler air, causing the balloon to float upwards. This is because the hot air inside the balloon creates a lift force that exceeds its weight.

A hot air balloon can typically hold around 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of weight, including passengers and cargo.

The buoyant force on a hot air balloon is equal to the weight of the air displaced by the balloon. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise. The buoyant force allows the balloon to float in the air.
A hot air balloon can lift around 1,000 to 1,200 pounds in total, including the weight of the balloon itself, the basket, passengers, and any additional equipment.
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In a hot air balloon, the heated air inside the balloon is less dense than the cooler air outside, creating a buoyant force that lifts the balloon. This principle allows the hot air balloon to float in the air by displacing enough air to lift its weight.
Hot air has density less than the air surrounding the balloon. When the average density of the balloon filled with hot air is less than the density of the air outside upthrust is more than the weight of the balloon. therefore it keeps on rising up till the upthrust becomes equal to the weight of the balloon.
Well the basic answer is that when the balloon is 'floating' it is not heavy. The hot air inside the balloon is less dense and therefore lighter than the ambient air. The hotter it is, the lighter it is. When the weight loss of the air inside the balloon is equivalent to the weight of the balloon and equipment, passengers, etc., then it will float. The weight reduction of heated air is quite small which is why balloons have to be so big.
Hot air balloons can typically carry between 500 to 1,500 pounds including passengers, fuel, and the balloon itself. The exact weight capacity can vary depending on the size and design of the balloon.
Because hot air is less dense (ie lighter) than cooler air, it rises. If the total weight of the balloon,( including the warmer air inside it) weighs less than the exact volume of the cooler air which it displaces, it will 'float' upwards. When the air inside cools to a point where the total weight of the balloon equals the weight of the volume of air it displaces, it will cease to rise.... it will 'hover'. If the hot air further cools to where the total balloon weight is greater than that of the displaced air, the balloon will descend.
You change the volume or the weight of the balloon to raise it or lower it into air currents that are traveling where you want to go.
A hot air balloon goes up due to the principle of buoyancy. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler air, causing it to rise. As the balloon rises, it displaces an amount of air equal to its own weight, allowing it to ascend.
