Hot air is less dense than cooler air, therefore the balloon will rise (float) on the cooler air around it.

Why do you think hot-air balloons can rise into the air?

Hot-air balloons can rise up into the air because hot air is lighter, allowing it to float up into the sky.


What source is used to fly hot air balloons?

Wind !... The balloons are filled with hot air, which causes them to rise. They are then at the mercy f the wind direction.


Will a balloon rise if the air inside is hot?

The heating of the air through the use of a burner is what makes balloons rise.


Which gas do you use for hot air balloons?

Hot air balloons typically use propane gas as a fuel source for the burner that heats the air inside the balloon envelope. The propane is burned to heat the air, which causes the balloon to rise.


Why are hot air balloons able to rise into the air?

Hot air balloons rise because when the air inside the balloon is heated, it becomes less dense than the surrounding cooler air. This difference in density creates lift, causing the hot air balloon to float upward.


What 2 things that use hot air to rise?

Hot air balloons and thermal air currents are two things that use hot air to rise. The heating of the air makes it less dense, causing it to become buoyant and lift objects or create upward movement.


Does a hot air balloon have helium inside it?

Hot air balloons do not use helium; they are typically filled with hot air. Helium is non-flammable and more commonly used in other types of balloons like weather balloons or party balloons. The hot air inside a hot air balloon is what allows it to rise and float.


Is a hot air balloon filled with helium?

No, hot air balloons are typically filled with hot air to become buoyant and rise. Helium is an alternative gas used in some balloons, like party balloons or weather balloons, due to its lighter weight than air.


Does helium rise?

yes honey, that's why hot air balloons rise


How high do hot air balloons go up?

they contain helium molecules which are lighter than the air we breath making the balloons rise


Why do balloons float up into the air?

At a hot air balloon festival, hot air balloons slowly fill and then rise majestically in the predawn sky. These hot air balloons fly because of two fundamental principles of physics: the ideal gas law and Archimedes's principle.


Is helium used in hot air balloons?

No, it is not. "Regular" air is used, and it is heated. Hot air is less dense than cooler air, and it will rise. If hot air is trapped in an envelope, it will give lift to the envelope and an attached payload.
