A balloon filled with light gas rises due to buoyancy generated by the difference in density between the gas inside the balloon and the surrounding air. However, as the balloon ascends, the air pressure decreases causing the gas inside the balloon to expand. Eventually, the gas will expand to the point where it equals the surrounding air density and the balloon will stop rising.

What makes a balloon float on water?

A balloon filled with a gas that is less dense than water, such as helium or hydrogen, will float on water due to the buoyant force acting on it. The gas inside the balloon displaces an amount of water equal in weight to the balloon, causing it to float.

Little girl sits in a car at a traffic light holding a helium-filled balloon?

The balloon will rise due to the helium's buoyancy force. As the car accelerates or decelerates, the balloon may move towards the front or back of the car, but it will maintain its upward movement due to the helium gas.


Why do balloons rise in the air?

A balloon rises in the air only if the balloon has a lower mass than an equal volume of the air surrounding it.That might be the case if the balloon were filled with a light gas such as helium, for example. The balloon rises because the pressure of the air around it pushes it up in the same way that water causes an air bubble to rise.


What is an antonym for a rock?

How do balloon fly?

Balloons are filled with helium. Helium is a gas that can make light objects float, or make your voice all squeaky. So if you want to pee your pants laughing, go cut a small hole in a balloon and suck the helium out and then speak.

Why does a hot air balloon float even though it is so heavy?

Relatively hot air balloon are pretty light, and they have a very large balloon which is filled with hot air, which naturally rises, and if you contain enough of it it is enough to lift the balloon.
