Explain why helium is used in air balloons
Accepted Answer
Helium is used in air balloons because it is much less dense than air. This means that a helium-filled balloon will be lighter than an equal volume of air, causing it to rise. Helium is also non-flammable and inert, making it safe to use in balloons.
