Gas filled weather balloons go as high as 25 miles. At that altitude the low pressure makes it difficult to gain additional lift, and causes expansion that typically destroys the balloon itself.

What makes the sky lantern fly?

Sky lanterns fly due to the principle of buoyancy. When the lantern is lit, the flame heats the air inside the lantern, causing it to expand and become less dense than the cooler air outside. This difference in density creates lift, allowing the lantern to rise into the sky. Once the flame goes out and the air inside cools, the lantern will eventually descend.

How does a sky lantern work?

A sky lantern is a small hot air balloon made of paper, with an opening at the bottom where a small fire is lit. As the air inside the lantern heats up from the fire, it becomes lighter than the surrounding air and causes the lantern to float upwards. The lantern can stay airborne until the fire burns out or the hot air is exhausted.
