Why does the balloon explode on the way up ? 🤓 It’s all about Boyle-Mariotte’s law : When pressure goes up, volume goes down and when pressure goes down, volume goes up. At 20 meters, the pressure is about 3 times higher than at the surface. So the air inside the balloon is compressed... but as it rises, the pressure drops and the air volume inside expands fast. By the time it reaches around 6–7 meters, the air has already expanded so much that the balloon can’t hold it anymore 👉 Boom💥 This i

Why do some party balloons explode with fire? It’s not helium’s fault. Helium is an inert gas—completely non-flammable and totally safe. But some people confuse it with hydrogen, which is highly flammable. Hydrogen floats even better and costs less, so it's sometimes used in cheap party balloons or science demos. But when a spark or flame hits a hydrogen-filled balloon, it can explode in a ball of fire. So if you ever see a balloon burst into flames, remember: it wasn’t helium—it was hydrogen. |
