A balloon filled with a gas less dense than the surrounding air, such as helium or hydrogen, rises because of the principle of buoyancy. The lighter gas inside the balloon creates an upward force that is greater than the weight of the balloon itself, causing it to float upwards.
helium is lighter that air so rises above the air. similar to oil rising above water.
A balloon rises in the air only if the balloon has a lower mass than an equal volume of the air surrounding it.That might be the case if the balloon were filled with a light gas such as helium, for example. The balloon rises because the pressure of the air around it pushes it up in the same way that water causes an air bubble to rise.
A balloon filled with hydrogen rises until it reaches a level in the atmosphere where the air pressure outside the balloon is equal to the pressure inside the balloon. At this point, the balloon stops rising because the difference in pressure is no longer enough to overcome the force of gravity pulling it downward.
A helium balloon rises into the air because the density of the helium is lesser than the density of the air, therefore, the balloon rises, trying to reach above the air. Helium is lighter than air, or to be more precise, less dense. Helium gas weighs less than our atmospheric air so it floats. Same goes for hydrogen and a few other pure gases
As the helium-filled balloon rises into the atmosphere, the surrounding air pressure decreases while the pressure inside the balloon remains the same. This causes the helium inside the balloon to expand, making the balloon increase in size. Eventually, the balloon will reach a point where the difference in pressure between the inside and outside of the balloon will be equal, and it will float at that altitude.
A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.
Larger (the air pressure is dropping as it rises).
helium is lighter that air so rises above the air. similar to oil rising above water.
When a hot air balloon is filled with the hot air the air around the balloon is a lot denser. So by convection the balloon rises and the less dense air is replaced by dense air underneath it.
Baloon filled with hydrogen gas float in air or rises if the quntity of gas it contain is adjusted so that the average density of the balloon is just eguall to the density of the surrounding air.The weight of the displaces air is then eguall to the weight of the balloon

In a "hot air" balloon, which you refer to in your question, the gas is hot air. Heated air rises, so the balloon rises. The gas used in the burner, to heat the air, is propane.
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
Hot air balloons are filled with hot air from a propane burner in the basket. Hot air rises. So provided the cooling air in the balloon is topped up from short blasts from the burner, the balloon will rise off the ground.
