If the air balloon needs to carry more people. how can the pilot get the heavier load off the ground?

To lift a heavier load off the ground, the pilot can increase the temperature of the air inside the balloon by using the burner. As the air inside the balloon heats up, it becomes less dense than the cooler air outside, creating lift and enabling the balloon to rise with the heavier load. Additionally, the pilot can adjust the amount of ballast on board to help control the ascent.
