When you inflate a balloon, you’re actually putting gases, in this case mostly helium, into an elastic container. As you add more gas, the pressure inside the balloon increases, and in response, the balloon expands… As you go higher into the atmosphere, the air becomes thinner, and the atmospheric pressure drops.

Blowing up a balloon involves forcing additional air particles from your lungs into the balloon. These particles hit the inside walls of the balloon creating enough air pressure to force the rubber of the balloon to expand and the balloon to inflate.

Blowing up a balloon requires forcing additional air particles from our lungs into the balloon. These particles bumped the balloon’s inside walls, creating enough air pressure to force the rubber of the balloon to expand and the balloon to inflate.

On blowing air into balloon, it inflates, because gasses exerts pressure in all directions. The air inside the balloon fills all the spaces in it. The air filled in the balloon pushes and exerts force in all the directions on the wall of the balloon, hence inflating it.

When you release the opening of the balloon, gas quickly escapes to equalize the pressure inside with the air pressure outside of the balloon. The escaping air exerts a force on the balloon itself. The balloon pushes back in a manner described by Newton’s Third Law of Motion.

When you inflate a balloon, the air pressure inside it is much more than the atmospheric pressure outside of it. If the balloon is pricked, all the air comes tries to come out with great force. Also, now that there is weak spot in the membrane, the pressure due to the air tears apart the rubber in an instant.

when the balloon pushes air out of its nozzle, the air pushes the balloon right back…. in space the rocket fuel comes out of the rocket and goes in the opposite direction to that of the rocket, thus providing the rocket with a momentum to go forward.] so yes you are right.

Dangers Balloon Releases Pose to Birds Balloon releases impact all types of birds, from songbirds to birds of prey to seabirds, and the consequences they face coming into contact with balloons can be devastating.

All released balloons, including those falsely marketed as “biodegradable latex,” return to Earth as ugly litter. They kill countless animals and cause dangerous power outages. Balloons are also a waste of Helium, a finite resource. Balloons can travel thousands of miles and pollute the most remote and pristine places.

Because they are soft and malleable, latex balloons easily conform to an animal’s stomach cavity or digestive tract and can cause obstruction, starvation and death. As a result, latex balloons are the deadliest form of marine debris for seabirds. They are 32 times more likely to kill than hard plastics when ingested.

Standard size latex filled helium balloons stay afloat for approx 8 – 12 hours, whereas helium filled balloons float for 2-5 days. If you want your latex balloons to float longer there is a useful product that you can buy Helium Hi-Float Treatment Kit which helps the balloons float up to 25 times longer!

When you release a helium balloon into the sky, it does NOT go to heaven. Releasing balloons causes suffering and death of animals, and has no place in celebratory events. Tragically, some people use balloons as a symbol of rising to heaven.

While no one can ever guarantee a weather balloon will soar to a specific height, the balloons typically reach between 60,000 and 105,000 feet. However, the highest recorded weather balloon flight on record was launched in 2002 and soared to an incredible height of 173,000 feet.

12,500 feet

Weather balloons can rise to an altitude of 24 miles (39 kilometers) or more before they burst, and a payload may land (via parachute) up to 75 miles (120 km) away, depending on wind conditions at the launch site, Maydell said.

It’s not safe to fly at winds above about 10 miles per hour. If there is no or very little wind, the balloon will not fly far. Most balloon flights last about an hour in the air, travelling at a height of between 500 and 2,500 feet.

Both helium and hot air balloons stop rising because the density of air is decreasing with altitude and, with it, the lifting force. So, even if the weight of the gas inside a balloon was zero, there would be a limit due to the finite weight of the balloon itself and the payload.

The hot air won’t escape from the hole at the bottom of the envelope because buoyancy keeps it moving up. If the pilot continuously fires the burner the balloon will continue to rise. This causes the balloon to slow its ascent. If the pilot keeps the valve open long enough, the balloon will sink.

Hot air balloons normally fly between 1,000 and 3,000 feet in the air. Because of the harsh conditions at higher altitudes, hot air balloons normally don’t surpass 3,000 feet. The highest a balloon has ever flown is 68,986 feet.

Charles’ Law in Everyday Life In order to make a hot air balloon rise, heat is added to the air inside the balloon. When the density of the balloon decreases to be less than the density of the outside air, the balloon rises. Conversely, the volume of a gas will shrink if its temperature decreases.
