The reason behind the balloon rises when it is released.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The density of a substance is defined as the ratio of mass to volume of the substance.
Calculation:
If the density of gas in the balloon is less than that of the density of air then the balloon will rise up into the air
The balloon with low-density gas will rise up into the air because the density of gas in the balloon is less than that of the density of air in Earth’s atmosphere.
Conclusion:
Thus, the balloon rises when it is released because the density of gas in the balloon is less than that of the density of air in Earth’s atmosphere.
