Cold air molecules move slowly, while hot air molecules move quickly. That's why cold air contracts, weighs less, and go down, while warm air expands, gets lighter, and go up. The cold air inside a helium balloon would contract and make the balloon collapse. Otherwise, there would be a vacuum in the balloon.

When balloons are filled with this they are lighter than air?

Hot air, hydrogen or helium are lighter than cold air.


What will happen to those balloons if you take them outside on a cold day?

When you cool a gas at a constant presure, the volume of the gas decreases. Therefore, the balloons will slightly shrink.

What do balloons have inside?

Some balloons just have air (the inflated ones used as decorations). The ones that rise in the air are filled with helium, a gas much less dense than air. The large balloons that carry people aloft are lifted by hot air, using propane burners. Hot air is also less dense than cooler air. The weather balloons that rise to great heights are filled with helium or other gases, and some inevitably pop when they expand to their limit in the upper atmosphere.


What is the difference between a helium balloon and a hot air balloon?

A helium balloon does not need energy to rise in the air. A hot air balloon needs fuel to rise in air. That is it needs heat energy to rise in air.i love Pizza squares i hope they put helium in then one dayHelium relies on the fact that helium is lighter than air. Hot air balloons rely on the fact that hot air has less volume than cold air and is lighter than the air around it. hot air balloons use hot air to cause the balloon to lift as helium balloons use a special gas to cause lift

Why does a helium balloon collapse when taken outside into the cold?

At a colder temperature, the gas takes up less volume. Other things (especially pressure) being equal, the volume of an ideal gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature (the temperature in Kelvin). A real gas will have a behavior similar to an ideal gas, under normal circumstances.


Will a balloon deflate faster in warm or cold temperatures?

A helium balloon of the same material will deflate faster. Helium molecules are smaller than those in regular air, so they'll seep through tiny holes and imperfections in the skin of the balloon faster. When using the standard PIN analysis - both helium and common air balloons were found to deflate at the same rate. To the naked eye, both balloons stuck with a pin deflated with a pop. However, if the balloons are left intact, the helium balloon will deflate faster. This is because the helium molecules are small enough to pass through the rubber balloon, and they gradually leak out.


What would happen to party balloons that are inflated at room temperature and taken outside on a winters day?

When the temperature drops gases contract, so the balloon would be less inflated. This is the same reason why tire pressure drops when it gets cold outside.


What will happen to filled up water balloons in a cooler over night?

The water balloons will remain intact but will reach the same temperature as the cooler. If the cooler is cold, the water balloons will also be cold. If the cooler is warm, the water balloons will also be warm.


What does helium make?

Helium is primarily used to inflate balloons, as it is lighter than air and non-flammable. It is also used in various industrial processes, such as cooling superconducting magnets in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines and as a shielding gas in arc welding. Additionally, helium is used in cryogenics to keep materials and instruments extremely cold.


In what temperatures can you fly a hot air-balloon?

hot air balloons work the best in cold temperature. the reason why is because if the outside temperature is close to the temperature in the hot air balloon, it will be as if the flame isn't on. if it is cold outside, the flame makes a much bigger impact and the balloon will go up faster.
