Where do they get helium for balloons and other uses?
Helium is extracted from natural gas deposits deep underground. It is separated from the other gases in the natural gas through a process called fractional distillation. Once extracted, helium is stored in tanks and can be used for various purposes, including filling balloons and in scientific and industrial applications.
Why do people use hydrogen gas to fill up balloons?

What can helium do?
Helium is commonly used in balloons to make them float and in airships for lift. It is also used in cryogenics, as a coolant in nuclear reactors, and in MRI machines for cooling the superconducting magnets.
