Hot Air Balloons


Hot air balloons are usually very large in size and have a basket hanging underneath them in which the people manning the balloon sit. They can come in a variety of shapes and colours, but are most commonly a rounded lightbulb-like shape, which is very distinct even at a distance. However sometimes races or competitions are held, during which very odd shaped balloons can be seen.


A powerful flame is lit intermitently to keep the air inside the balloon hot enough to stay afloat. This flame is extremely bright and can often be seen, even during daylight hours. At night time it can light up the whole of the inside of the balloon in a fiery orange glow. The flame also makes a loud roaring sound, that can sometimes be heard from the ground.


Because of the way that they are propelled through the air, hot air balloons usually glide very slowly across the sky, and can also hover completely still if required.
