When you heat a gas it will rise higher because the density of the gas will be less than the unheated gas. So if you heat the air in a hot air balloon the air will rise up filling the balloon. Once the balloon is filled with enough hot air at a high enough temperature the balloon will begin to rise.

Why does a hot air balloon rise when the air inside it is heated?
When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This density difference creates a buoyant force, causing the balloon to rise. As long as the air inside the balloon is heated, it will continue to rise.
Why does a hot air balloon rises when air inside it is heated?
Heating causes the air inside the balloon to expand. Some of the warm air leaves through the bottom opening of the balloon, keeping the pressure constant.
Why does a hot air balloon rise when the air is heated?
the heated air inside of the balloon has less density than the cold outside air so the hot air is more buoyant (e.g. the bowling ball sinks but the beach ball floats because the density of the beach ball is less than the water)
Explain how a hot air balloon is lifted from the ground?
In a nutshell, air rises and expands when heated. Through the use of a burner the balloon pilot heats up the air inside the envelope (the balloon itself), this air inside the envelope expands and rises, lifing the basket.
If you were to turn on the burner on in the hot air balloon what effect would it have on the air in the balloon?
Turning on the burner in a hot air balloon heats the air inside the balloon, reducing its density. This decrease in density causes the balloon to become lighter than the surrounding air, which helps it to rise. The heated air adds buoyancy, allowing the balloon to ascend.
What would happen to a balloon heated up?
Heating up a balloon will cause the air inside it to expand, which will increase the pressure inside the balloon. If the pressure exceeds the balloon's strength, it will pop or burst.
How does the balloon get heated up?
A balloon gets heated up by the sun or another external heat source that warms the air inside the balloon. The heated air inside the balloon becomes less dense than the surrounding air, causing the balloon to rise.
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.
Why does a hot air balloon rise when the air inside it is heated?
When the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This density difference creates a buoyant force, causing the balloon to rise. As long as the air inside the balloon is heated, it will continue to rise.
What happens To the mass of air in a balloon when it is heated?
When air inside a balloon is heated, the molecules move faster, causing the air to expand and the balloon to inflate. The total mass of the air inside the balloon remains the same, but the density of the air decreases as it becomes less compact.
Why doesn't an inflated balloon shrink when heated?
Because as the balloon is heated, the gases on the inside of the balloon begin to expand and press out on the walls of balloon. If a balloon is refridgerated, the opposite is true: the gases on the inside of the balloon will begin to contract, causing the balloon to shrink.
Why does an air balloon not float?
A hot air balloon floats because the air inside is heated, making it less dense than the cooler air outside. This creates a buoyant force that lifts the balloon. If the air inside the balloon is not heated, it will not be less dense than the surrounding air, and the balloon will not float.
What if a balloon is heated what happens to the volume of the air in the balloon if the pressure is constant?
For a balloon that is sealed and not full the volume of air inside the balloon will increase as it is heated. This is not however how hot air balloons work. A hot air balloon is essentially a fixed volume when it is inflated. If the air inside the balloon is heated the air inside becomes less dense so some of the air exits the balloon via the mouth of the balloon. As the air inside the balloon cools it becomes more dense so some air is ingested via the mouth of the balloon to keep it full. With each heating and cooling cycle, the pressure inside the balloon remains constant, the volume of the balloon remains constant but there is this movement of air out of and back into the balloon. P=VT Poop
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 does a balloon do when heated?
the heat makes the molecules inside the balloon travel faster, pushing outward on the balloon. This, the balloon expands when heated
What happen to the balloon when heated?
When a balloon is heated, the air molecules inside the balloon gain kinetic energy and move faster, causing the air to expand. As a result, the balloon inflates and may eventually burst if it cannot contain the increased pressure from the expanding air molecules.
What happens when the air inside a ballon is heated?
When the air inside a balloon is heated, the molecules in the air gain kinetic energy and move faster, causing the air inside the balloon to expand. This expansion increases the pressure inside the balloon, making it inflate and potentially burst if the pressure becomes too high.
