Hot air balloons were invented by three frenchmen named Jacques and Joseph Montgolfier, and Pilatre de Rozier.

When the balloon is up in the air the burner is turned off and the balloon drifts along with the wind What will eventually happen to the air inside the balloon?

As the balloon cools down, the air inside will also cool. This will cause the air pressure inside the balloon to decrease, potentially leading to the balloon descending back to the ground due to the decreased pressure.


What happens to a balloon when you fill it with air?

When you fill a balloon with air, the air molecules displace the surrounding space inside the balloon, causing the balloon to expand and stretch. The pressure of the air inside the balloon exceeds the pressure outside, creating tension in the balloon material, which keeps it inflated.


Why does air in a balloon take up all the space in the balloon?

It's a gas. The air molecules are free to move around anywhere in the balloon.


What gas is used for a hot airballoon?

I am fairly sure that hot air balloons use normal air. They rely more on the idea of bouyancy rather than using specal gases, such as helium. The hot air inside of the balloon is more bouyant than the cold air outside of the balloon. So that makes the balloon ascend till the temperature of the air inside of the balloon is equal to the temperature of the air outside of the balloon. Then as the air inside the balloon gets colder, the balloon starts to descend.


Why Would a hot air balloon pilot heat or cool the air in the balloon to make it rise?

Heating the air makes less air take up the same space, so the air inside the balloon is lighter than the surrounding air. The pilot turns off the burner to help the balloon to maintain the current altitude or to descend.
