It varies. Normally, a hot air balloon can go as high as it wants as long as the air inside is still less dense than air surrounding it.
A hot air balloon can travel in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where most weather phenomena occur. This layer extends from the Earth's surface up to an average height of about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles).
No, the Moon has no atmosphere. The hot air does not have the colder air to be lighter than! Such a balloon would work on Mars or some moons of the larger planets which have some kind of an atmosphere.
No, a hot air balloon cannot leave Earth's atmosphere. Hot air balloons rely on the Earth's atmosphere to provide lift for their flight. They are designed to operate within the troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere.
No. The atmosphere of Mars is too thin.
NASA is thinking it can.

An average hot air balloon can travel about 25 to 30 miles.
because the air inside the balloon is heavier than the air outside in the other layers of the atmosphere

No, because the atmosphere would pop the balloon.
No. The atmosphere of Mars is too thin.
A average hot air balloon can travel around 25 miles. But it all depends on how big it is and how much gas you have
NASA is thinking it can.
As the balloon ascends into the atmosphere, the air pressure surrounding it decreases, causing the gas inside the balloon to expand. Eventually, the gas inside the balloon will expand so much that the balloon will burst or pop. Pieces of the balloon will then fall back down to the ground.

The monglifier brothers were the first people to travel around the world in a hot air balloon known as the monglifier balloon
