- How Hot Air Balloons Work
- f you actually need to get somewhere, a hot air balloon is a fairly impractical vehicle.You can't really steer it, and it only travels as fast as the wind blows. But if you simply want to enjoy the experience of flying, there's nothing quite like it.

- Science of Ballooning
- Imagine you're at a hot air balloon event. The balloonists are busy preparing for flight. They spread out the enormous balloons on the grass and check all the lines. The talk is all about today's temperature, wind speed, and direction.
