It’s best to dress appropriately depending on the season. You might also want to wear a hat since the burners will generate heat once the balloon flies.

Accepted Answer

A balloon is mostly carried by the wind and therefore, the direction in which it flies in depends on the direction of the wind.

Question 7

How big is a hot air balloon?

The baskets can carry around 1 to 15 passengers. The balloon can be as tall as a five-story building when inflated. Most balloons are about 50,000 cubic feet and 300,000 cubic feet depending on its purpose.

Question 8

How does the hot air balloon fly?

Accepted Answer

Balloons fly using the principle of cold and hot air plus gravity. Hot air rises and cold air descends. The balloon is pumped with air which is then heated, making it rise. When the air inside the balloon cools, the balloon will descend.

Question 9

Does the hot air balloon use fuel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, hot air balloons use fuel. The burners that heat the air are fueled by propane gas which is readily available and burns cleanly.

Question 10

How high does an air balloon fly?

Accepted Answer

An air balloon can fly from the treetop level up to 3,000 feet above the ground. The flight is dependent on the wind speed, direction, and what the passenger wants.
