The material of the balloon has pores- tiny holes too small to see without a microscope- but big enough to let air molecules slowly escape.

Why does a securely tied balloon deflate and why is it quicker on a warm day?

A securely tied balloon will still deflate over time due to tiny holes in the material allowing air to escape through diffusion. On a warm day, the air inside the balloon expands and molecules move more quickly, causing the balloon to lose air quickly.


What causes a balloon, which is inflated but not tied on its end, to move through the air when released?

When a balloon is inflated but not tied at the end, releasing it causes the air inside to escape quickly, creating a force that propels the balloon forward. This is due to Newton's Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.


What happens when an air filled balloon is left with its mouth downward and allowed the air to escape?

When an air-filled balloon is left with its mouth downward and the air is allowed to escape, the balloon will collapse and shrink in size. This is because the air pressure inside the balloon is greater than the atmospheric pressure outside, causing the air to rush out until the pressures equalize.


What happens to a balloon's air pressure if you pop the balloon with a nail?

When a balloon is popped with a nail, the air pressure inside the balloon rapidly decreases, causing the air to quickly escape. The sudden release of air creates a popping sound.


How does the air which is in a balloon escape from that balloon?

A balloon is stretchy. Therefore, when air is not being forced in, the ballon will try to contract to more or less of it's original size. When this happens, the air is forced out of a balloon until the molecular structure of the balloon is simillar to how it started out.

What will happen if the balloon is a punctured with a hole?

If a balloon is punctured with a hole, the air inside the balloon will escape, causing the balloon to gradually deflate and become smaller in size until there is no more air left.


How does air escape a balloon?

Air escapes a balloon when the pressure inside the balloon is greater than the pressure outside, causing the air to flow out through the opening of the balloon. This process continues until the pressure inside and outside the balloon equalize.


Can a single firework stay in the air for 1 hour?

If it was tied to a hot air balloon it could. Otherwise no.


How can you prick a balloon silently and without allowing air to escape?

To prick a balloon silently and without allowing air to escape, you can use a sharp needle or pin to puncture a small hole in the balloon. By doing it slowly and carefully, you can control the release of air, minimizing noise.


Why do you close the mouth of inflated balloon?

The air would escape through the mouth causing the balloon to DEflate


What will happen if you leave a balloon over night?

A small amount of air or helium within the balloon will escape through the balloon material.
