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.
How does the amount of air in the balloon affect its motion?
The amount of air in a balloon affects its buoyancy and weight. A balloon with more air is heavier and may fall faster, while a balloon with less air is lighter and may stay in the air longer. Additionally, the amount of air can impact the balloon's stability and maneuverability.
Why does a balloon sink in cold air?
A balloon sinks in cold air because the air inside the balloon cools down, causing it to contract and become denser. This increased density makes the balloon heavier than the surrounding air, causing it to sink.
What can get bigger without getting heavier?
A balloon can get bigger without getting heavier as it inflates with air. The increase in size is due to the expansion of the balloon material to accommodate the added volume of air, but the total weight remains constant.
Why wont a hot air ballon fly in cold air?
A hot air balloon needs hot air to rise. In colder air, the balloon loses its buoyancy and cannot generate enough lift to stay airborne. Cold air is denser and heavier, which makes it harder for the hot air balloon to ascend.
How does a air balloon fly?
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
How does air make a balloon fly?
air is heavier than balloon, air rises
Is a helium balloon heavier than air filled balloon?
No. Helium is lighter than air

Is an air inside a balloon a pure substance?
The air inside a hot air balloon is the same as normal air around the balloon and the air you're breathing, only heated by the flame inside the balloon, hence HOT AIR balloon.
Why can't a hot air balloon go to any of the other layers of the atmosphere?
because the air inside the balloon is heavier than the air outside in the other layers of the atmosphere
Can dry ice float a hot air balloon?
No. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, which is heavier than air, so wont float a balloon.
Why does'nt a balloon with carbon dioxide float and a balloon with helium does?
Because, carbon dioxide is heavier than air whereas helium is lighter than air.
Once an airballon is in the air what happends to the air in the balloon?
If you mean a kid's balloon, nothing. If you mean a hot air balloon, then it slowly cools and thus gets denser (heavier). Therefore it needs to be re-heated periodically.
Do you make a balloon lighter when you blow it up?
If you blow it up with your mouth you make it heavier. You breathe out air containing a higher proportion of carbon dioxide than the air you breathe in. Carbon dioxide is a relatively heavy gas (nearly three times as dense as air) and so this increased amount of gas, plus the rest of the air in the balloon, will make the balloon heavier.
