Why hot air balloons are made of nylons?
well, hot air balloons are made from nylons because so it does not burn or catch on fire with the flames
Is it true that hot air balloons were flown before hydrogen balloons were flown?
Yes, hot air balloons flew first. Though I don't know the exact details, as the history is so diverse, spread over many years, and even includes the candle lit paper hot air balloons released at parties or festivals. It would take some research on the internet to get the full details.
Why are hot air balloons circular?
Circles and spheres have the least amount of surface area per volume than any other shape, and so it is a very popular shape for hot-air balloons as less heat is dissipated through the skin of the balloon.That being said, hot-air balloons have been made in many different shapes.
What gas do we fill in hot air balloon?
Hot air balloons are filled with hot air from a propane burner in the basket. Hot air rises. So provided the cooling air in the balloon is topped up from short blasts from the burner, the balloon will rise off the ground.
How do hot air balloons steer?
Hot air balloons steer by ascending or descending to different altitudes where the wind is blowing in a different direction. Pilots can use this technique, known as wind direction control, to navigate the balloon. Additionally, some hot air balloons have vents that allow the pilot to release hot air to decrease altitude and land in a desired location.
Do you like hot air balloons?
oh yeah! they are so cool! big balloons... fun.. no actually, it sucks

What is added to balloons and hot air balloons?
Balloons can be filled with air (don't float), or with hydrogen or helium (float because the gas is less dense). Hot air balloons use burners to heat the air so that it becomes slightly less dense than the cooler air around it, providing some lift.
How do hot-air balloons achieve liftoff?
They achieve liftoff by filling up the envelope with hot air, hot air is less dense and so it rises. To lower the hot air balloon, they will pull a string to release the hot air.
Do hot air balloons pollute?
Hot air balloons burn fossil fuels to produce the heat they need to fly. Anything which burns fuel must also release some pollutants. So yes, hot air balloons do pollute. But it should be noted that most burn propane which is a very clean fuel.
how are hot air balloons different then planes in lift?
The hot air inside the balloon is less dense than the cold air outside, so the balloon floats on the denser air. But an airplane relies on a wing moving through the air to create lower pressure on the top of the wing, so that air below pushes the wing up. hot air balloons require no movement.
What element is used inside balloons so it will float?
Helium is the gas usually used now. Hydrogen works, but is inflammable and so dangerous. There are also hot air balloons which require a heater to create the hot air and keep it hot.
Is it true that hot air balloons were flown before hydrogen balloons were flown?

Why couldn't a hot air balloon continue into the air and leave the Earth's atmosphere?
a hot air balloon only works using thermals, which are currents of hot air rising because one area is heated more than the others. so hot air balloons depend on air to keep it airborne, specifically hot air. once it leaves the earths atmosphere, it is a vacuum. there is no air, so the hot air balloon will fall back into the earth. hence, we see that hot air balloons cannot leave the earth's atmosphere.
How were hot air balloons used in wars?
People peed on there enemys so they had to go take showers.
What are the similar things about old hot air balloons and new ones?
The basic principles in function (hot air is less dense than cold air so it goes up) and design (big bag with little basket hanging from it) are the same; differences include materials, fuels and use.
Why are balloons so big?
what kind of balloons are you talking about???
