How does the pilot maneuver a hot air balloon?

The pilot maneuvers a hot air balloon primarily by controlling the altitude through the use of a burner to heat the air inside the envelope, causing it to rise, or by allowing the air to cool, which makes the balloon descend. Horizontal movement is achieved by changing altitude to catch different wind currents, as the balloon has no steering mechanism. The pilot can navigate by ascending or descending to find favorable winds, guiding the balloon toward the desired direction. Communication with ground crew and using visual landmarks also aid in navigation.


Do satellites have gravity?

Gravity is a characteristic of space. Because of it, every material object encounters a force of attractiontoward every other material object. That leads to some interesting consequences:-- A satellite is attracted toward the earth.-- You are attracted toward the earth.-- The earth is attracted toward a satellite.-- A satellite is attracted toward you.-- The earth is attracted toward you.-- You are attracted toward a satellite.-- Two satellites are attracted toward each other.-- You are attracted toward Mars.-- The sun is attracted toward you.-- The sun is attracted toward a satellite.-- The sun is attracted toward my dog.-- You are attracted toward my dog, and also toward the sun.-- My dog is attracted toward Pres. Obama's golf balls....etc.

What makes a planet bend toward the light?

Does a balloon go to the front of the car or the back of the car when brakes are pressed?

When brakes are pressed, a balloon inside a car will move toward the back of the car. This occurs because of inertia; as the car decelerates, the balloon continues to move forward relative to the car's new position. The air inside the car pushes the balloon back, creating the effect of it moving toward the rear.

How do you get a water balloon out of a bottle without popping it?

If you filled the bottle with water and then poked the balloon with a pin, I believe it would pierce but not pop it. With the balloon pierced, all you would then have to do is drain the water from the bottle, maneuver the balloon toward its mouth and drain it, and then finish removing the balloon either by fishing or dropping it out of the bottle's mouth.
