What else can I help you with?
Why is the weather balloon drawn so tall and thin?
To enable the gases inside the balloon to expand which they do when the balloon reaches high altitudes. At this point the balloon becomes much larger.
Why are weather balloons partially infated before they're released into the atmosphere?
As you rise in elevation, the pressure around you decreases. This lower pressure would cause the balloon to expand, and burst if it was inflated to much originally. By starting it off only partly filled, it will expand to a normal size and not explode.
Does helium contract in cold weather and cause a helium balloon to sink and if warmed will it rise again?
Helium will contract in cold weather, but that may not cause a balloon filled with it to sink since the air will also contract - and by about the same amount - so the relative densities of the helium and the surrounding are would remain about the same and the buoyancy of a helium filled balloon would remain
If a weather balloon pops do the instruments fall to the ground?
Yes, if a weather balloon pops, the instruments attached to it will fall to the ground. These instruments are usually designed to withstand the impact of landing and are typically equipped with parachutes to slow their descent.
Is error possible in weather predictions or is weather really unpredictable?
I hate you so very much.

How far can a weather balloon travel in the atmosphere?
It depends on the wind and balloon payload. The smaller the payload, the higher the balloon may rise before it bursts. The balloon I helped launch landed close to 60 miles from the launch site.
In a very special store the prices are set according to the owner's whim A ball costs 10 A sailboat is 22 A balloon is 20 According to this system how much will a kite cost?
vowels cost $2, consonants cost $1, syllables cost $5. so kite costs $11.
How many weather balloons to lift 190 lb person?
It would take roughly 67 weather balloons to lift a 190 lb person. Each weather balloon can lift around 3 lbs of weight, so dividing the person's weight by the lifting capacity of one balloon gives the approximate number needed.
What is a weather balloon?
Weather balloons typically carry a thermometer (to measure air temperature), a psychrometer (to measure humidity), a barometer (to measure air pressure) and a transmitter (to send the information through radio waves to equipment at the ground so we will know what the instruments are measuring up in the air)
What happens to a balloon on a fine day?
If it's a light balloon, it keeps going up, into thinner and thinner atmosphere, until the pressure inside the balloon is so much greater that the pressure outsize , and then it pops.
A balloon is weighted so that it is barely able to float in water. What will happen if it is pushed beneath the surface?
It sinks. By pressing it under the water, the water pressure on the balloon increases slightly and compresses the air in the balloon. This increases the density of the (balloon, weight) combo so that is more dense than water, hence it sinks. High altitude weather balloons are only inflated partway with helium when they are launched from the ground. The envelope of the balloon expands as it rises in the atmosphere.
Why don't hot air balloons take flight in hot humid weather?
Hot air balloons work by heating the air inside the balloon to make it less dense than the surrounding air, allowing it to rise. In hot, humid weather, the air is already less dense, so heating it further may not provide enough lift for the balloon to take flight. Additionally, the moisture in humid air can affect the performance of the balloon's burners, making it difficult to control the temperature of the air inside.
Why does a balloon expand as you blow into it?
The balloon inflates because a chemical reaction occurs between the vinegar and the yeast. This generates a carbon dioxide gas (CO2).The gas rises to the mouth of the bottle and enters the balloon . The pressure is so strong that the balloon begins to inflate.
What happens when a balloon floats up into the atmosphere?
As the balloon ascends into the atmosphere, the air pressure surrounding it decreases, causing the gas inside the balloon to expand. Eventually, the gas inside the balloon will expand so much that the balloon will burst or pop. Pieces of the balloon will then fall back down to the ground.
