Simply put, the weather balloon is a lighter-than-air vehicle or aerosonde that provides lift to an instrument package to get it to altitude. The instruments thus situated can collect data which, when combined with other information from both similar and different sources, can be used to assess current conditions, and, as an extension, to forecast weather.

Is the air inside the balloon less dense than the air outside the balloon?

No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.No. If you blow air into a baloon, it will be under pressure, and therefore more dense, than the air outside.


Why does a hot air baloon float?

Raising the air temperature inside the envelope makes it lighter than the surrounding (ambient) air. The balloon floats because of the buoyant force exerted on it. This force is the same force that acts on objects when they are in water


Does a balloon grow when its hot ot cold?

A balloon expands when exposed to heat as the air particles inside it move faster, causing the balloon to inflate. Conversely, a balloon shrinks in cold temperatures as the air particles slow down, reducing the size of the balloon.


Can you inflate a balloon in a bottle with a straw sticking out of the bottle why?

Yes you can if all conditions were perfect. By that I mean that the bottle would have to be a near perfect vacuum by sucking out the air from the bottle with the straw. The vacated air from the bottle would be replaced by the baloon stretching to fill the space left by the air. You would have no need to blow into the baloon as the vacuum would do the work for you.


How does Archimedes principal work in hot air balloon?

Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. In a hot air balloon, the heated air inside the balloon is less dense than the cooler air outside, creating a buoyant force that lifts the balloon. This principle allows the hot air balloon to float in the air by displacing enough air to lift its weight.

What is the air of hot air balloon?

It is the same as the air we breath, the only difference is that it has been heated, hot air rises above cold air and thats what lifts the baloon.


How does a hot air baloons fly?

Hot air balloons fly by heating the air within the balloon envelope, which causes it to become less dense than the surrounding air. This difference in density creates lift, allowing the balloon to rise. By controlling the temperature of the air inside the balloon, the pilot can make the balloon ascend or descend.


In what way is a baloon like a stomach?

Your stomach is like a baloon in the way that it expands with air in it.


Why does a hot air balloon rise when the air inside is still heated?

Because hot air rises, so if there is hot air inside the baloon, the balloon will be compelled to ride because the air pushes against the balloon upward, and, long story short, the air wins. Hope this helped.


What is it about atmosphere on Earth for balloons to lift?

The earths atmosphere is denser than the helium found in a baloon therefore the baloon is lighter and is lifted above the denser air located in earths atmosphere. Which is why if you just blow up a baloon with air from your lungs it does not float. It would be the same density as the air outside of the baloon.

Does any company organize a Hot Air Baloon Tour in NY?

Why do hot air balloons fly in the morning?

Take a paper bag, and a hair dryer and go outside in a chill morning....fill the paper bag with warm air from the hairdryer and release, it will fly away. Do the same when its hot outside, it will not work.... The thing is that a Hot Air Baloon needs chill air to be able to fly since the hot air are working as thrust....


Why does a baloon filled with helium float in air but the baloon filled with carbandioxide sink?

Because Helium is less dense than air, and CO2, I assume is more dense


Is heating the air in a hot- air balloon causes the balloon to rise a law?

The law is called Law of Buoyancy, matter with less density tries to raise above the matter with high density. When air is heated, the volume increases and density decreases. Since the air around the ballon is at a lower temperature and the density is higher, the air in the baloon tries to move up thus lifting the baloon.
