No it doesn't have helium.
A hot air balloon derives it's lift from heated air, which is less dense and therefore lighter than normal air.
A helium balloon derives it's lift from helium, a gas which at normal temperatures is less dense than normal air.
So both fly 'lighter than air' but for different reasons.

∙ 13y agoyes, it can inflate a balloon. In fact, that's what most people use to inflate their balloons. helium-filled balloons float, unlike balloons that are inflated using regular air. This is because helium has a lower density that air, therefore making it lift upwards.

∙ 10y agoYes, it is possible but there is any need.

∙ 12y agoOf course you can. That's exactly what you're doing when you blow up a balloon
with your mouth. The only difference is that a balloon full of normal air won't rise.

What last longer helium fill balloon or hot air balloons?
hot air balloons
Which gas is used to fill balloons?
Helium is normally used in balloons that float. Helium is the second lightest gas. Hydrogen is lighter, but it is also flammable and thus dangerous.When normal air is used to fill a balloon, the balloon will not be buoyant.If you fill a balloon with air from your lungs, there is a bit more water vapor and a bit more carbon dioxide and a bit less oxygen in the air inside the balloon, but that has a small impact on the buoyancy.The larger balloons that carry people are called hot air balloons because they are filled with hot air. They are buoyant because the hot air is fractionally lighter than normal air but there is a lot of it.Weather balloons and party balloons both use helium gas.As long as the gas plus the balloon is lighter than the air it displaces, the balloon will float in the air.Helium is normally used in balloons that float.

If you suspend two balloons from a meter stick with different volumes of air--will it balance or lean more to one side---and which side?
If you mean the air we breathe, the meter stick will lean towards the balloon with the greater volume of air in it. However, if you fill the balloons with helium, the meter stick will lean toward the balloon with less helium, since helium makes balloons float.
What makes balloons float when they are full of air but not float when they are deflated?
When balloons float they have helium in it. Helium is not air, but a gas. It's lighter than air, which makes it float.
Name something you can fill a balloon with?
if you mean a small balloon like those of birthdays, they can be filled with normal air like your breath or it can be filled with helium gas, as it's lighter than air and balloons will be floating in air and if you mean balloons like huge ones used in trips and so on, they are also filled with helium but there's also heat generator to make helium more lighter thus increase the height to which your alloon float
What last longer helium fill balloon or hot air balloons?
hot air balloons
The gas used to fill party balloons contains only helium atoms What does This make helium?
Helium molecules have a lower molecular weight than air. This is why balloons filled with Helium will float in the air. Apex:element
How is possible for one tank of helium to fill 700 balloon?
Helium is stored under pressure, so a lot is packed into a small space. The gas in the balloon is at only slightly more than normal air pressure. The helium spreads out as it fills the balloons.

What is a very light gas found in some balloons?
Helium is used in blimps and balloons. It is the second lightest element to hydrogen, which is not used because it is highly flammable.
Which gas is used to fill the balloons?
Hydrogen, until the Hindenburg,then everyone realized that "Hey, Hydrogen isn't that safe to use!"Hot air balloons, you mean?? Just air that is hot.Actual hand balloons and such? Helium or again, just air. Helium floats better because it is lighter than the surrounding air around it. Helium and air are still used in both.
What gas which used to fill up balloons because it is lighter than air is?
They're filled with Helium.
Why is density of hydrogen lower than air and can be used to fill balloons why is helium used instead oh hydogen?
Because helium is lighter
If you wanted to make a balloon float in the air which gas should you use to fill the balloon?
Helium gas is lighter than air and hence balloons filled with helium will float in air.
What form is helium?
hot air balloons and balloons
Something you can fill a balloon with?
Balloons are filled with gas (such as helium), or a mixture of gasses (such as air) or hot gasses (such as hot air).Helium.
If you fill 2 balloons one with helium and one in air which one would go down first?
the balloon with air will fall first because air is more dense than helium.
