Hot Air Balloon Fun Facts
- While modern day hot air balloons are made from durable materials like nylon or polyester, the first was made from paper and silk.
- The principal that hot air is less dense than cold air is what allows a hot air ballon to take flight.
- Hot air ballons typically fly at 1,000-3,000 feet, however the world altitude record for a hot air balloon is 69,000 feet! That's twice as height of a commercial airline flight.
