  • How Heating a Balloon Affects Density: A Simple Explanation
    When a balloon is heated, its volume doubles, and its density is halved. Here's why:

    * Density is mass divided by volume (Density = Mass / Volume).

    * Heating the balloon doesn't change its mass. The air inside just gets hotter and expands.

    * Since the volume doubles, the density is halved. This is because the same mass is now spread out over a larger volume.

    In simpler terms: Imagine you have a bag of marbles. If you spread those marbles out over a larger area, the density of marbles per unit area decreases.
