It will fall.

Wht makes a balloon rise is if what it's filled with is lighter than what's around it. But if the balloon is on the moon, what's around it is basically vacuum - nothing. And any gas is always something, and something is heavier than nothing.

Hypothetically if you could stand on the moon with a balloon full of helium and gently release it from your hands what would happen to the balloon and why?

Probably it would drop on the ground, because the moon has no atmosphere.


What would happen if the hot air balloon was on the moon?

If a hot air balloon were on the moon, it would not function as it does on Earth. The moon has no atmosphere, which means there is no air to heat and create lift. Consequently, the balloon would remain deflated and grounded, as there would be no buoyant force to support it. Additionally, the moon's lower gravity would not provide the necessary conditions for a hot air balloon to operate effectively.

What would happen if you inflated a balloon on the moon?

The balloon would expand due to the lack of atmosphere on the moon, but it wouldn't burst because the pressure inside the balloon would equalize with the low pressure outside. Additionally, the balloon would float in the lower gravity environment of the moon.

There is no air on the moon, so the vibrations from the balloon popping have no medium to excite, so there will be no sound.

Can a hot air balloon float up to the moon?

No, because the atmosphere would pop the balloon.


If a helium balloon was released on the moon surface what would happen?

Balloons can fly in the Earth's atmosphere when they are lighter than air itself, the "heavy" air pushing the balloon up. The moon has no atmosphere, so any object, even a helium balloon, would simply fall to the surface of the moon, although relatively slowly since moon's gravity is only 1/6th as strong as it is on Earth. Also, the only force resisting the expansion of the balloon would be the rubber skin itself, without atmospheric pressure on the outside to back it up. So the gas inside the balloon would expand to whatever volume and pressure it wanted for its temperature, and if the rubber couldn't hold that pressure, then the balloon would explode. The difference, compared to its behavior on earth, would be 14.6 pounds per square inch missing from the outside of the balloon. On the Earth, a helium balloon will float away, and a feather dropped will flutter down to the ground slowly. A hammer will fall rapidly. On the Moon, all three items would fall at the same speed!
