How could you keep a balloon from rising or falling in air?
You can keep a balloon from rising or falling by adjusting its internal pressure to match the external air pressure. If the internal pressure is the same as the external air pressure, the balloon will stay at the same altitude. Additionally, you can attach a weight to the balloon to counteract its natural tendency to rise.
Why does the pressure outside the balloon decrease as it rises?
The pressure outside the balloon doesn't change when the balloon rises. By a balloon rising, I assume that air is being placed into the balloon. As the balloon fills with air, the pressure inside the balloon will increase. Since the balloon can stretch, the increasing pressure against its inner walls will cause it to rise, or more correctly put, expand. Eventually, the balloon will be stretched to its fullest capacity if more air is placed inside it. When it pops, the bang you hear is the high pressure of the atmosphere inside the balloon equalizing with the lower pressure of the atmosphere outside the balloon.
What factors do you think are affecting the gas inside the hot air balloon?
The factors affecting the gas inside the hot air balloon are temperature, pressure, and volume. When the air inside the balloon is heated, it expands, causing the balloon to rise. Conversely, when the air cools, the balloon descends. The pressure of the gas inside the balloon also plays a role in its movement, as changes in pressure can affect the buoyancy of the balloon. Additionally, the volume of the gas inside the balloon can change as the temperature and pressure fluctuate, impacting the balloon's altitude.
Why does a balloon filled with helium gas rise to a particular height and doesn't rise further?
A balloon filled with helium rises until it reaches a point in the atmosphere where the density of the surrounding air equals the density of the helium inside the balloon. At this point, called buoyant equilibrium, the balloon stops rising because the forces of gravity pulling it down are balanced by the buoyant force pushing it up.
Why you squash a balloon are the air particles squashed?
When a balloon is squashed, the air particles inside it are compressed together within a smaller space. This compression increases the air pressure inside the balloon, causing it to resist the squashing force applied from the outside. The air particles do not get squashed individually, but rather experience increased pressure collectively.
What makes a balloon rise on air?
A balloon rises on the principle of buoyancy. This occurs when the net pressure on the bottom of the balloon exceeds the net pressure on top of the balloon.
Would a balloon rise in an atmosphere where the pressure was somehow the same at all altitudes Would a balloon rise in the complete absence of atmospheric pressure such as on the surface of the moon?
No
Does air pressure affect a hot air balloon?
Yes, air pressure can affect a hot air balloon. A decrease in air pressure can cause the balloon to rise higher, while an increase in air pressure can cause it to descend. Pilots can adjust the altitude of a hot air balloon by manipulating the amount of hot air in the balloon.

What causes a balloon to rise and explode?
A balloon rises when it is filled with a gas lighter than air, such as helium. If the balloon keeps rising, it will eventually reach a point where the air pressure decreases, causing the balloon to expand and potentially burst due to the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the balloon.

What will happen to the water level in a straw when the balloon is filled with tap water and then squeezed?
When the balloon is filled with water, it creates pressure on the water inside the straw, causing the water level in the straw to rise. When the balloon is squeezed, the pressure is increased, causing the water level in the straw to rise even further due to the increased force.
Why do balloons expand as they rise through the troposphere?
The ballon contains a fixed amount of gas producing internal pressure. At the surface, this pressure equals the surface atmospheric pressure. As the balloon rises, the atmospheric pressure drops, allowing the balloon to expand, keeping the internal pressure and external pressure equal. If the balloon is fully inflated at the surface it will burst at higher altitude.
Would a balloon rise in the absence of atmospheric pressure?
No. On the moon they just fall. (But it sure would expand !)
