Why do baloons float in air?
Balloons float in air because they are filled with a gas that is lighter than the surrounding air, usually helium or hydrogen. This creates a buoyant force that pushes the balloon upward, causing it to float.
Can you fill helium balloons with normal air?
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.
What is the difference between a full and an empty balloon?
A full balloon contains more gas than an empty balloon (even an empty balloon contains a little air). Therefore a full balloon is heavier than an empty balloon (assuming the balloons are the same weight to begin with). However, if filled with a lighter-than-air gas, such as helium, the full balloon will defy gravity due to its increased buoyancy. The only other difference is that the skin of a full balloon will be stretched and will therefore be much thinner than the skin of an empty balloon. This stretching increases the pressure upon the gas contained therein, therefore the gas is compressed inside the balloon.
Why don't normal balloons stay in the sky?
Due to the weight of the balloon. A balloon is merely a capsule full of air so it will fall to the ground as the balloon weighs it down. A helium balloon will rise into the air because helium is less dense than normal air (i.e. it weighs less). The air inside the balloon is the same density as the air outside. The balloon material itself is heavier than air, which causes the balloon to sink. If you decrease the density of the trapped air, such as by heating it or replacing it with hydrogen or helium, the balloon may become even lighter than the balloon material and an equal volume of normal air, in which case the balloon will float or rise.
What does full time float position mean?
A full-time float position typically refers to a job where the employee works a set number of hours per week but is not assigned to a specific location. Instead, they "float" between different work sites or locations as needed by the employer. This can be common in industries such as healthcare or retail where staffing needs vary between different locations.

Why a lifejacket helps you float?
It's full of air that makes it buoyant
Why there is no life in dead sea n why things n living things float on its surface?
Because it is full of dissolved salt which makes the density of things lighter, and therefore makes them float.
How many cows are there in a box full of balloons?
There are no cows in a box full of balloons, as cows are animals and balloons are objects commonly used for decoration or celebrations.
How do you convince your younger ones that there is air all around?
A fan. You might have drop pieces of paper in the path of the fan, and query them as to what makes the paper move. Balloons are also fun--what are the balloons full of, and from where does it come?
Why do chilly bins float?
yes, bins full of chilli float.... why?
How many balloons are colored red in a bag of 12 balloons?
It's a trick question, the bag was full of green baloons.
Do milk containers float?
It depends if the carton is full or not. If the carton is empty, then it will float. If their is milk in the container, then it won't float.
How can a huge ocean liner built of steel float while a penny placed in a glass of water sinks?
Buoyancy In physics, buoyancy is the upward force that keeps things afloat. The net upward buoyancy force is equal to the magnitude of the weight of fluid displaced by the body. This force enables the object to float or at least seem lighter. In simple words, the hollow ship displaces an amount of water that is heavier than the ship. What puzzles me is how an oil tanker that is "full" of heavy oil will float----now that is a real dilema. This is what makes hot-air balloons fly and ships float.

The float on your lawnmower is full of petrol?
The float bowl is supposed to be full of fuel. However, if what you are saying is that the fuel doesn't stop flowing into the float bowl and causes the engine to flood, then the problem lies in the needle valve that is controlled by the float. When the float drops because the engine is "pulling" fuel, the valve will open to allow more fuel into the bowl. As the bowl fills up, the float will rise and close the valve to cut off the fuel supply. The other interpretation I can make of your question is that the float itself is full of fuel. If that's the case, the float is damaged and must be replaced.
