What property causes a hot air balloon to rise?

heat


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

He would heat it.


What heat sources make things rise?

Fire makes things rise as it is a very strong source of heat. So does hot air. Fire causes hot air and because hot air is lighter than cold air, it rises. Is that good? (my first answer X3)


Does hot air rise in a vacuum?

No. A vaccum cannot have any air in it, or it isn't a vacuum


Does the sun heat air and hot air rise?

Yes on both counts. But hot air balloons need considerably more help - they use propane burners to heat the air inside the balloon.


What causes hot air to rise?

Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it rises up. Ex. A hot air balloon rises up because we heat the air and it goes up.


When hot and cold air meet the hot air rises to the top Which process causes the hot air to rise?

The hot air rises due to convection, which is the transfer of heat through the movement of liquids or gases. When hot and cold air meet, the hot air expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise above the denser, cooler air.


How does a hot air balloon stays in the air?

A hot air balloon can stay in the air because the hot air is less dense than cool air. The hot air that is blown into the balloon causes it to rise and a burner is used to heat the air inside of the balloon to keep it floating.


What type of energy is a hot air ballon?

A hot air balloon uses thermal energy, which is a form of kinetic energy generated from the heat of the air inside the balloon causing it to rise.


Which gas is used to fill a hot air balloon?

A typical hot air balloon is filled with the same air we breath.


Why is heat energy transferred from hot water in the tank to surrounding air?

Heat energy is transferred from hot water to surrounding air through convection, as the hot water molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster, causing them to rise and transfer heat to the air molecules. This process continues until there is thermal equilibrium between the hot water and the surrounding air.


What fuel do hot air balloons use?

Hot air balloons use propane gas as fuel to heat the air inside the envelope, which causes the balloon to rise. The propane burner provides the necessary heat to keep the air inside the balloon hotter than the air outside.
