Balloons rise because they are filled with a gas that is lighter than the surrounding air, typically helium or hot air. This difference in density creates buoyancy, allowing the balloon to float upward. As the balloon ascends, the surrounding air pressure decreases, but the gas inside remains less dense, enabling it to continue rising until it reaches a point where the external air pressure equals the internal pressure.
