What might limit how high a hot air balloon can get?
The density of hot air is lower than air at low altitudes, but the air at higher altitudes is very thin. A hot air balloon can only rise until its density equals the surrounding air.
What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?
temperature and altitude
Is it windier at higher altitudes?
Yes.
What happens when gas rises?
It rises until the density of the atmosphere, which thins as you go higher, is equal to that of the gas. Then the gas disperses into that level of the atmosphere.
Which type of planet will have a higher overall density?
planets that are closer to the sun usually will have higher density compared to ones further from the sun.
How does the density of air change from lower to higher in altitudes?
The density of air decreases as altitude increases.
What happens inside the body when you are at higher altitudes?
You get polycythemia
Why the density decrees at higher altitudes?
the density decreases because their is more air pressure in lower altitudes and as you go up their is less air pressure making it hard to breath
What happens to oxygen level at high altitudes?
The oxygen level remains about the same, but the density of the air is reduced.
What happens if an object of higher density is placed in water?
Higher than what ?? If the object's density is higher than the density of water, then the object sinks in the water.

What happens to density during thermal expansion?
Higher the temperature the lower the density
Why ice melts slowly at higher altitudes?
because there is low pressure at higher altitudes
What happens to the boiling point of water at altitudes above sea level?
The temperature decreases the higher you go.
What happens to the air density when climbing mountains?
Density Reduces as we climb to a higher altitude
In higher altitude what happens to your breathing?
Your breathing can become laboured due to your smaller lung capacity in high altitudes.
