The simple answer is because the pressure remains the same. When pressure remains constant, the change in volume will be directly proportional to the change in temperature.
The air molecules release energy as they travel around inside the balloon. What we call pressure is technically the force of the air molecules colliding with the inside of the balloon and each other. The kinetic energy is related to the speed of the molecules. The faster the molecules are moving, the greater the kinetic energy. The greater the kinetic energy, the greater the pressure in the inside of the balloon. The outside air is doing the same thing to outside of the balloon. Therefore, the pressure pushing out is equal to the pressure pushing in. Temperature decreases because the molecules inside the balloon are releasing their energy in the form of heat as they interact with each other. In fact, they heat energy passes through the balloon and is absorbed by the air on the outside. Over time, more energy is released, and the temperature drops. The volume of the balloon decreases in order to maintain a constant pressure. As the surface area decreases, the total pressure pushing in also decreases so that it always equals the pressure pushing out.

What is a name for a device that is sent up into the air to measure information about the weather?
weather balloon
What will change the size of the weather balloon as it rises?
The pressure of the air inside it. The higher the balloon rises, the lower the outside air-pressure. With less pressure outside, the balloon expands because of the pressure of the air inside it. Eventually, the balloon bursts, and scientists recover the instruments when they fall to earth.
How long can a weather balloon stay in the air before it descends back to the ground?
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.
How does a weather balloon work to gather atmospheric data?
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.
What happens to a weather balloon at the conclusion of its flight?
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.
What would happen to the size of a balloon that is brought from inside a warm building to outside in the cold?
The balloon would shrink in the cold weather because the air molecules inside the balloon lose kinetic energy and move closer together, resulting in a decrease in volume.
Does cold weather affect maximum balloon inflation size?
yes
In hot weather will a balloon rise higher than in cold weather?
Yes, hot air always rises while cold air sinks
Why would a balloon get smaller in a fridge?
A balloon gets smaller in a fridge because the cold temperature causes the air inside it to contract, reducing its volume. As the air molecules lose energy and move slower, the pressure inside the balloon decreases, causing it to deflate.
Do house sparrows get smaller or bigger in cold weather?
smaller They stay the same size.
Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?
Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain
What will happen if you inflate a balloon with warm air and take it to a cold place?
The air inside cools. Cool air shrinks. The balloon gets smaller.
Why does your penis get shorter in cold weather?
Because when your nerves get cold, they contract, making your dick smaller
What is a name for a device that is sent up into the air to measure information about the weather?
weather balloon
Would a balloon pop if you put it in the refrigerator?
Placing a balloon in the refrigerator will not cause it to pop. The cold temperature may cause the air inside the balloon to contract, making it slightly smaller and more wrinkled, but it should not burst.
What will change the size of the weather balloon as it rises?
The pressure of the air inside it. The higher the balloon rises, the lower the outside air-pressure. With less pressure outside, the balloon expands because of the pressure of the air inside it. Eventually, the balloon bursts, and scientists recover the instruments when they fall to earth.
What is the standard volume of a weather balloon?
