Balloons are squishy because they are made of thin, elastic material like latex or rubber that can expand and contract easily. When air is blown into the balloon, the material stretches to accommodate the air, giving the balloon its squishy feel.

Does water balloons hold more air than latex balloons?

Water balloons are typically made of thinner material than latex balloons, so they can hold less air in comparison. Also, water balloons are designed to hold water, not air, so they may burst if overinflated with air. Latex balloons are designed specifically for holding air and can typically hold more air than water balloons.


Is real gold squishy?

"Squishy" is not the preferred term, but yes, compared to other metals, it is kind of squishy (malleable, if you want to be technical). Note that we're not talking Play-Doh here. It's only "squishy" in a relative sense. It is, after all, still metal.


Do you like hot air balloons?

Why do rubber balloons lose air faster than plastic balloons?

Rubber balloons are more porous than plastic balloons, so they allow air to slowly escape through the surface more easily. This makes rubber balloons deflate faster compared to plastic balloons, which have a tighter seal and are less permeable to air.


How did the balloons get attracted when two balloons tied when the balloons rubbed with sweater they were attracted?

When the balloons rub against the sweater, they pick up extra electrons, giving them a negative charge. Similar charges repel each other, so the negatively charged balloons are attracted to the positively charged areas on each other. This causes the balloons to stick together momentarily due to electrostatic forces before the charges eventually spread out and they separate.
