On modern airplanes no, because the cabin is pressurised to the same atmospheric pressure as on the ground. If the balloon was on the outside of the plane, and the atmospheric pressure at that altitude were low enough, then yes, the balloon would pop.

Why does helium balloons pop in the hot sun and what pressure is acting on it?

Helium expands in the heat, causing the gas inside the balloon to increase in pressure. As the pressure inside the balloon becomes greater than the strength of the balloon's material, it can pop. The pressure acting on the balloon is the sum of the internal pressure of the expanding helium gas and the external atmospheric pressure.


What will a helium filled balloon do in space?

In space, a helium-filled balloon will expand further due to the lack of air pressure outside the balloon. Eventually, the balloon will burst because the pressure from the helium inside will exceed the pressure outside.


Does a helium balloon pop when it has Vaseline on it?

A helium balloon may not pop immediately when coated with Vaseline, as the lubricant can create a barrier that reduces friction and stress on the balloon's surface. However, the balloon is still susceptible to popping due to factors like pressure changes, sharp objects, or extreme temperatures. It's important to note that while Vaseline may provide some temporary protection, it doesn't make the balloon invulnerable. Over time, the helium can still escape, causing the balloon to deflate.


Why do balloons float when you put helium in them?

The helium weighs less than air- so when the balloon is filled, it displaces the heavier air, and floats. Just as a bit of wood weighs less than water, and floats on water. In a vacuum, a helium filled balloon would not float (but it may pop)


What is the answer for it already has helium but what is it?

The object that already has helium is most likely a helium-filled balloon. Helium is used to inflate balloons as it is lighter than air, causing the balloon to float.

Is it permissible to bring a helium balloon on an airplane"?

No, it is generally not permissible to bring a helium balloon on an airplane due to safety concerns related to changes in air pressure during the flight.

Why does a helium balloon pop as it goes higher in the sky?

a helium balloon pops as it goes higher because the different combination of pressure. you could take a balloon in an airplane because the cabin is pressurized. as it gets higher the amount of pressure changes so it pops the balloon.


Will a lit cigarette ignite a helium balloon?

Helium is not flammable. However, the cigarette might puncture the balloon.


If air is denser why does helium pop faster?

Because helium is less denser than air a helium balloon can rise; it is very simple !

How high do helium balloons fly before they pop?

Depends on the type of rubber and amount of helium in balloon

How can you determine if a balloon is filled with helium gas or hydrogen gas?

If you are comparing two balloons side by side, a hydrogen balloon will have more lift than a helium balloon of the same size and construction.If you open the balloons, the hydrogen is flammable, while the helium is not.


How much can a helium balloon lift?

depends how big the helium balloon is and how many


Could you use helium to float an item into space?

No, air pressure increases as the balloon goes up, so the balloon will pop and fall to the ground. You can get high up in the atmosphere (but you need a LOT of helium and a balloon that can get VERY big) you will not reach "outer" space beyond the Earth's atmosphere.


What was the helium balloon balloon made of?

It was made out of the light gas gas Helium.
