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.

My engineering class recently launched a weather balloon. The altitude it bursts at depends on how much helium you put in the balloon. Our balloon burst at 90000 feet.

mesosphere. This is the layer of the winds. Thermosphere is too high because that goes into space and straosphere is where the air planes fly so its right in between.

How far can a water balloon be toss before it breaks?

I think a water balloon can be tossed if the water balloon is filled lightly. If the water balloon is filled heavily it might break before someone catches it. Also I did this before and I measured it and it was 74 feet and 5 inches exactly!
