A hot air balloon is a type of aircraft that uses heated air to rise into the sky. It consists of a large, colorful envelope filled with hot air, which is lighter than the cooler air outside. A burner heats the air inside the envelope, allowing the balloon to float. Passengers can enjoy a peaceful ride while taking in beautiful views from above. The basket attached to the balloon carries passengers and the pilot. Hot air balloon rides are popular for special occasions, such as weddings or festivals. They offer a unique way to experience the beauty of nature and the thrill of flying.
