A weather balloon can stay in the air for several hours to a few days before descending back to the ground. The exact duration depends on factors such as the size of the balloon, the altitude it reaches, and weather conditions.
At the end of its flight, a weather balloon typically bursts due to the decreasing air pressure as it rises higher into the atmosphere. The instruments attached to the balloon then parachute back to the ground, where they are retrieved for data analysis.
A weather balloon works by carrying instruments called radiosondes high up into the atmosphere. As the balloon ascends, the radiosonde collects data on temperature, humidity, and pressure. This information is transmitted back to the ground, where it is used to analyze and predict weather patterns.
A radiosonde is a weather balloon device that measures air pressure, temperature, and relative humidity as it ascends through the atmosphere. It relays this data back to the ground station for analysis and weather forecasting purposes.
It depends on the wind and balloon payload. The smaller the payload, the higher the balloon may rise before it bursts. The balloon I helped launch landed close to 60 miles from the launch site.

A hot air balloon has potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy. As the balloon rises in the air, it gains potential energy due to its increased height above the ground. This energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the balloon descends back to the ground.
A weather balloon carries weather instruments, such as a radiosonde, aloft to about 30,000 meters. As the balloon ascends, the instruments collect data on temperature, humidity, and pressure, transmitting the information back to the ground for weather forecasting and research.

The question is not clear but i think it will be the same original size as it was initially.
At the end of its flight, a weather balloon typically bursts due to the decreasing air pressure as it rises higher into the atmosphere. The instruments attached to the balloon then parachute back to the ground, where they are retrieved for data analysis.
A weather balloon unit is a package of equipment that typically includes a balloon, a radiosonde (instrument to measure various weather parameters), a parachute, and sometimes a radar reflector. This unit is used to collect weather data by releasing the balloon into the atmosphere, where it ascends and transmits information back to the ground station.
After a weather balloon bursts, the radiosonde is released from the balloon and falls back to the ground under a small parachute. The radiosonde is equipped with a transmitter to send data to the ground station, allowing meteorologists to track its location and retrieve it for data analysis.

As you rise in elevation, the pressure around you decreases. This lower pressure would cause the balloon to expand, and burst if it was inflated to much originally. By starting it off only partly filled, it will expand to a normal size and not explode.
Heating the gas in the balloon makes it less dense, causing it to become lighter than the surrounding air. This creates a buoyant force that lifts the balloon upwards. As the gas cools, the balloon descends back to the ground.
