High enough, until it gets popped. So it can fly up forever. Unless, of course a bird flies into it, popping and sending it back to Earth.

It will fly as high as it can until it runs out of air, or if it runs into a power line because when it runs into a power line, the current electricity will cause it to pop. There are also different reasons why the balloon will pop.

The higher the balloon goes, the lower the atmospheric pressure will be, so the balloon will expand as if helium were being added. When it expands far enough, it will pop.

Toy balloons burst at around 10km, while professional meteorological balloons reach heights of 30km. The ultimate limit is set by Archimedes's Principle, which says balloons will stop rising once their density matches the surrounding air. So there's no chance of balloons entering the vacuum of space. However, in 2002, a helium balloon built by Dr Takamasa Yamagami and colleagues at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science climbed to 53km - half way to the official edge of space.

it depends on weither the balloon gets stuck in a tree but the balloon can untimatly decend to at least higher than a plane before it pops from pressure.

Helium balloons can go up to 14,000 feet in the air.

Helium is lighter than air, causing the helium molecules to fill the balloon, and float. If you try to blow up a balloon with Co2, it will not float, because Co2 is heaver than helium.

Why do you have to hang onto your helium balloon?

If you let go of your helium balloon it will start to rise because helium is lighter than air.


How many uses does helium have?

Two are long distance balloon traveling and making people's voices go high.


Why does a balloon filled with helium rise with a balloon filled with an equal volume of average atmospheric air does not?

Helium is less dense than air, which is why the helium-filled balloon floats when you let it go.


Does gravity go inside of a balloon?

No. Air or helium goes inside the balloon.


What is an object with small mass and high capacity?

A hydrogen balloon, or for safety's sake, a helium balloon.


How high do helium balloons fly before they pop?

Depends on the type of rubber and amount of helium in balloon


How is it possible for a cylinder of helium to fill 700 balloons?

if its possible then the reason could be the expansion of high pressured helium from tank to balloon is large.


Is a helium balloon a solid?

A helium "balloon" is composed of two parts: the SOLID rubber balloon skin, and the GASeous helium. So the balloon part itself is a solid.


What makes an helium balloon go up and what makes an helium balloon go down?

a helium balloon is forced upward by buoyancy. a object is forced upward by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces. this also applies to gases. the gas helium is lighter than average atmospheric air, that is that equal volumes of atmospheric air and helium do not weigh the same. This means that the volume displaced by the balloon is heavier than the balloon itself. since the air weighs more it applies more force upwards on the balloon than the balloon applies downwards on the air, therefore it rises. However, a helium balloon will not go down unless a force such as large air resistance (heavy wind etc.) is applied to it. hope this helps.


How much can a helium balloon lift?

What was the helium balloon balloon made of?

It was made out of the light gas gas Helium.


Is inside balloon solid liquid or a gas?

Inside a balloon there is gas. This gas is normally helium if you want the balloon to fly high, but hydrogen also works.
