Helium filled balloons stop floating because the helium leaks out. The balloon latex is porous and the helium is a very small atom and leaks out causing the balloon to lower and eventually stop floating.
Helium is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. It is lighter than air and non-reactive, which means it does not easily form chemical compounds with other elements. At low temperatures, helium can become a liquid or solid, displaying unique properties such as superfluidity and superconductivity.
the lighted splint would stop burning as Helium does not burn.
When a lighted splint is put into a glass jar of helium, the splint will immediately extinguish because helium is an inert gas that does not support combustion. The lack of oxygen in the helium prevents the splint from continuing to burn.
If you blow up a balloon then the helium inside it will run out after about 2 days. After those two days (maybe 3) there will be no helium left, but you will find that the balloon is still up and rounded but not as big as before. This is because the helium had got warm inside the balloon and transfered into a liguid, then that got evaporated and turned to a gas. Therefore the gas isn't helium. Because as it changed to a liquid, the liquid picked up other parts of gas and that transfered to a liquid with it to. So it is just an ordinary gas, Oxygen. Thank You. Lucie
I got an atomic number of 4And I am quite a boreI'm not very fastBut I sure can scratch glassI am from the GreekAnd once referred to as sweetI am very light-weightSo please, don't use me as a paper weightI am gray and strongAnd can go pretty longWithout getting heatedMelted or eatenI've been in outer spaceAnd I couldn't wait to get back from that placeI can go quite a while without getting oxidizedSo if you got time, stop by and say "hi"By Nick Jensen
Helium is less dense than air so if you fill a balloon with it, it floats. This is helpful as it means they don't have to be hung from something. For example, many balloon arrangements you see at parties on tables or in the corner of the room are filled with helium. They sort of stand upright, in a way. However they do need a weight of some sort to stop them floating away! :)
This is because of the helium they use to blow them up. If you noticed if you blow it up with your mouth, it does not float. Helium is much less dense for a given volume than air. The air pushes beneath the balloon and forces it upward. If it reaches a point high in the atmosphere where the air is the same density as the helium, it will stop rising. However, the pressure in the balloon will also force it to expand, so it will normally pop before it gets that high. Most latex balloons will pop, and most Mylar balloons will split open, somewhere around 2,000 to 5,000 feet in the air.
Breasts neither grow or shrink.
you can't shrink you can only stop growing .

Science has proven that THC, in marijuana, has proven to slow/stop the growth of cancerous cells. So does it actually shrink the tumor? No, but it will help stop it from growing.
No, it does not stop. They are bound due to gravity.
you press the red button
To stop them floating about in the spacecraft.
press "alt" and "Q"
You dont...till you get old then you shrink :D
Astronuts have to be tied to their beds at night to stop them from floating!
