Hot air balloons need fire to heat the air inside the envelope, which causes the air to expand and become less dense than the cooler air outside. This difference in density creates lift, allowing the balloon to rise. A burner, fueled by propane, produces the flame that heats the air, enabling the balloon to ascend or descend by adjusting the temperature inside the envelope.
