If the hot air is contained as it is in a balloon, it can force additional weight up into the air. Why is the hot air less dense? When one heats matter, its individual molecules vibrate ...

The difference in the air weights is the gross lift. The difference minus the weight of the balloon is the net lift. Absolute Fahrenheit is used to calculate air weights at different temperatures. It is the number of degrees above Absolute Zero, which is around minus 460 degrees Fa ...
