What is the name of the gas that is filled in hot air balloons to make them soar and rise up in the sky?
In a "hot air" balloon, which you refer to in your question, the gas is hot air. Heated air rises, so the balloon rises. The gas used in the burner, to heat the air, is propane.
Why can't a hot air balloon rise higher than it does?
Hot air balloons are limited in altitude because of adiabatic cooling. As you ascend in the atmosphere, the air becomes cooler. This alone would not be able to stop a balloon rising if there were enough fuel to continuously heat the air. However, as the balloon rises, the hot gas inside the balloon also rises. Logical right? When the gas rises, reduced pressure allows the gas to expand and as gases expand, the also cool. So, there will come a point, or pressure, where it become increasingly difficult to heat the air faster than it cools due to expansion and the balloon will stop rising.
How does a hot air balloon go in the air?
A hot air balloon rises due to the principle of buoyancy. The air inside the balloon is heated, which causes it to become lighter and less dense than the surrounding air. This difference in density creates lift, causing the balloon to float upwards.
Is a hot air balloon gas?
No. A hot air balloon is a solid object. That is, the basket, the ropes, the burner and the envelope itself are not gasses. The air within the envelope is a gas, of course; heated atmospheric gasses in fact. But the balloon itself is not a gas.
What do they fill hot air balloons with?
Hot air balloons are filled with heated air, usually generated by a gas burner that heats up the air inside the balloon envelope. This hot air makes the balloon buoyant and allows it to rise in the sky.

Why does a gas burner in a balloon begin to rise when heated air is trappd inside the balloon?
The hot air from the gas burner rises and enters the balloon's envelope. Once there is enough hot air trapped, the whole balloon will begin to lift off the floor. This is due entirely to the fact that hot air rises.
What would heating the gas in an air balloon make the balloon rise?
Simple...hot air rises..

Why does an hot air balloon rise up when you light the burner?
It all has to do with the gas law PV=nRT. When the Temperature "T" increases, the volume of the gas increases which inflates the balloon. It rises because this now warm gas rises through the cooler surrounding air. Warm air rises, cool air sinks
What happens to the balloon as it rises?
Baloon filled with hydrogen gas float in air or rises if the quntity of gas it contain is adjusted so that the average density of the balloon is just eguall to the density of the surrounding air.The weight of the displaces air is then eguall to the weight of the balloon

Why does a balloon filled with not air rises?
A balloon filled with a gas less dense than the surrounding air, such as helium or hydrogen, rises because of the principle of buoyancy. The lighter gas inside the balloon creates an upward force that is greater than the weight of the balloon itself, causing it to float upwards.
What do they fill hot air balloons with?
Hot air balloons are filled with heated air, usually generated by a gas burner that heats up the air inside the balloon envelope. This hot air makes the balloon buoyant and allows it to rise in the sky.
Why hydrogen balloon rise in air?
A hydrogen balloon rises in air because the hydrogen gas inside the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air. This makes it buoyant, causing it to float upwards. The difference in density between the hydrogen gas and the air creates an upward force, lifting the balloon off the ground.
Why would heating the gas in air balloon make the balloon rise?
Heating the gas in the balloon causes it to expand and become less dense than the surrounding air. This lower density gas creates a buoyant force greater than the weight of the now lighter balloon, causing it to rise.
