Balloons expand when they go higher because the air pressure outside the balloon decreases as altitude increases. This decrease in air pressure causes the gas inside the balloon to expand to occupy a larger volume, leading to the balloon expanding in size.

All balloons expand in heat.


Why do balloons expand by hot heat?

Balloons expand in hot heat because the air inside them heats up and becomes less dense. The higher temperature causes the air molecules to move faster and spread out more, increasing the pressure inside the balloon and causing it to expand.


Do latex balloons expand in heat?

Yes, latex balloons can expand in heat due to the air inside them expanding as it heats up. This can cause the balloon to inflate further and potentially burst if exposed to too much heat.

How does the altitude effect the size of a balloon?

As the external pressure drops with increasing altitude, balloons generally expand with height.


Why do balloons inflate when placed under direct sunlight?

heat from the sun causes the gas inside the balloon to expand.


What type of balloon stretches the farthest?

Latex balloons tend to stretch the farthest due to their flexibility and elasticity. Latex balloons are commonly used for stretching experiments because they can expand significantly before breaking.


What last longer helium fill balloon or hot air balloons?

Helium-filled balloons last longer than hot air balloons. Helium is a non-flammable, inert gas that does not expand or contract with temperature changes like hot air does. Hot air balloons require periodic reheating to maintain altitude, whereas helium balloons will gradually lose lift over time but can remain buoyant for days.

Can hot air balloons go higher than an airplane?

No. Air pressure and temperature keep hot air balloons from going past a certain distance. At any rate, the air is to thin at 35,000 feet (average airplane height) for any human to survive.
