hot air balloon

A hot air balloon is a type of aircraft that rises into the air because it is filled with warm air, which is lighter than the cooler air outside. It consists of a large fabric envelope that holds the hot air, and a basket that carries passengers or cargo. A burner, fueled by propane, heats the air inside the envelope. By adjusting the burner, pilots can control the altitude, allowing the balloon to ascend or descend. Hot air ballooning is often enjoyed for scenic views and peaceful experiences, making it a popular recreational activity.
