    Study Notes

    Hot Air Balloon Components

    • The gondola or basket of a hot air balloon is usually made of wicker.

    Hot Air Balloon Functionality

    • The hot air in a hot air balloon rises, making the balloon fly.

    Burner Purpose

    • The burner in a hot air balloon is used to heat the air inside the envelope.

    Major Parts of a Hot Air Balloon

    • The three major parts of a hot air balloon are the envelope, the gondola or basket, and the burner.

    Principle of Flight

    • Hot air balloons fly due to the principle of buoyancy, which states that hot air rises and cold air falls.

    True or False Statements

    • False: The basket of a hot air balloon is made of wicker to add extra weight.
    • True: Hot air balloons float because hot air rises and cold air falls.
    • True: The burner of a hot air balloon produces a flame to heat the air inside the envelope.
    • False: The envelope of a hot air balloon is the fabric balloon that holds the cold air. (It holds the hot air.)
    • False: The principle that allows hot air balloons to fly is the same principle that keeps food frozen in chest freezers.
