After you hit a certain altitude, the air would become so thin, it would starve the flame making the balloon rise of oxygen, the flame would go out, and the balloon would come plummeting back down to earth

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.


Would a hot air balloon work on the moon?

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.


What would happen if you took an inflated balloon to the top of a mountain?

If you took an inflated balloon to the top of a mountain, the air pressure surrounding the balloon would decrease as you ascend. This would cause the air inside the balloon to expand, potentially leading to the balloon bursting if the pressure differential is too great. Additionally, the lower air pressure at higher altitudes would cause the balloon to appear larger than it would at sea level due to the decreased external pressure pushing against it.


Why cant a hot air balloon go to higher layers?

A hot air balloon cannot typically ascend to higher layers of the atmosphere because the air at higher altitudes is cooler and less dense, making it difficult for the balloon to generate enough lift to continue rising. Additionally, the lack of oxygen at higher altitudes would make it unsafe for passengers in the balloon.


What would happen to an air up balloon if you take it up on a high mountain?

The balloon would get larger as the air pressure outside it dropped. At some height, the balloon would get large enough to burst.

Suppose you inflate a partyballon and then carry it high in the atmosphere what will happen to the balloon?

It would pop.


What would happen to the volume of a balloon if pressure increased?

It gets bigger because as it gets higher, the density of the atmosphere will rise when the density inside the balloon stays the same. Then because of pressure, it will get bigger and eventually pop.


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.

Why would a balloon increase in size as it goes higher in the atmosphere?

The quantity of gas inside a balloon is fixed - and is pressurised by the elastic 'shell'. As the air pressure outside the balloon decreases with altitude, the gas inside tries to expand - and the rubber of the balloon stretches - making it bigger.


What reaction would happen if you freeze a balloon?

the balloon would probably put on a jumper


What would happen if you put a blown up balloon outside in the sun What would happen if you put it in a refrigerator?

When in the sun the balloon gets slightly bigger, when in the refrigerator the balloon shrinks.


Can a hot air balloon float up to the moon?

No, because the atmosphere would pop the balloon.
