The elastic material of common balloons is inflated by a higher pressure of the air inside the balloon. The pressurized air molecules exert a greater force against the inside of the balloon, pushing it outward against the resistance of the elastic material.

Non-elastic balloons must have a pressure equal to or greater than the outside air.

What makes elastic helium balloons rise is that the helium (although having a higher interior pressure) is much less dense than the outside air, and is displaced by the air and forced upward.

Who can blow a bigger balloon a older kid or a younger kid?

An older kid should be able t blow a bigger balloon because a younger kid would have less breath and would therefore blow the balloon up slower and the older kid would be able to blow the bigger one. Also, the more air in the balloon the harder it will be to blow it up.


How do you get a balloon inflated?

You blow into it and then it gets bigger. Last you have to tie it.


When you blow into a ballon what makes it get bigger?

Blowing air into a balloon increases the pressure inside the balloon, causing it to expand. The balloon stretches in response to the increased air molecules inside it, causing it to inflate and become larger.


Why balloon gets bigger when you blow into it?

Because the air has nowhere else to go, so it goes into the balloon and makes it expand. because when the small balloon is being pressured it causes it to stretches to make space for the air


What happens if you heat a balloon?

If you gradually heat a balloon, then the gas inside the balloon will expand, causing the balloon to become bigger in volume.If you put a balloon above a flame, then the balloon will pop because the heat will weaken bonds in the polymer that makes up the balloon, thus the polymer will not be able to hold the pressure of the gas inside the balloon.


What do you call the part when you blow into it on a balloon?

It's called the "mouthpiece" of a balloon, where you blow air into to inflate it.


Can you blow a balloon up with air?

Yes you have to but here is a tip: if you want the sturdiest balloon blow it up halfway and then insert pancakes before you blow it up anymore


How can you blow air in or out to inflate a balloon?

To inflate a balloon, you can blow air into it by using your lungs to push air out of your mouth and into the balloon. Alternatively, you can use a pump to push air into the balloon.


What type of temp makes a balloon blow up?

An increase in temperature makes the air molecules inside a balloon move faster and spread out, increasing pressure and causing the balloon to expand. Conversely, a decrease in temperature will cause the air molecules inside the balloon to slow down and contract, causing the balloon to deflate.
