They can drop weight over the side, increase the hot air volume, or both.

A hot air balloon will rise when its buoyancy exceeds its weight. So the balloonist can increase the buoyancy by increasing the amount of hot air contained in the balloon. Or they can simply reduce the weight of the balloon, including the gondola, its contents, and contained hot air.

What is One who ascends in a balloon?

A person who ascends in a hot air balloon is typically called a balloonist or a hot air balloon pilot. They operate the balloon, controlling its altitude and direction using burners and vents to release hot air or gas. Balloonists often undergo specialized training and certification to ensure safe operation of the balloon.


Why doesn't the hot air escape out of the bottom of a hot air balloon?

Because hot air rises, the warmest air in the balloon is at the top of it. As time passes the balloonist has to fire the burners to maintain the temperature of the air in the balloon, and to prevent it being squeezed put by the higher pressure of the cold air surrounding the balloon.


What should a hot-air balloonist do to get higher?

To gain altitude in a hot air balloon, the pilot can heat the air inside the envelope using the burner to become less dense than the surrounding air. This creates lift and allows the balloon to ascend. However, it's important to monitor the temperature and control the rate of ascent to ensure safe and stable flight.


How do hot air balloonists keep their balloons going?

Hot air balloonists keep their balloons going by constantly monitoring and adjusting the temperature of the air inside the balloon. By heating the air using a burner, the balloon can ascend, and by allowing the air to cool, the balloon can descend. By managing this process, the balloonist can control the altitude and direction of the balloon.


What is the technique used to pilot a hot air balloon?

Hot air balloonists use the torch to change the amount of hot air in the balloon, changing it's height (hot air rises, cool air sinks). By finding the right wind (northward, southward, etc.) the balloonist can change the direction they choose to go.


What is the person that controls a hot air balloon called?

The person who controls a hot air balloon is called a pilot or a balloonist. They are responsible for navigating the balloon safely through the air by controlling the burner and the airflow in the balloon envelope.
