A hot air balloon is a balloon attached to a cane basket, where the passengers are expected to either stand or sit. The hot air is created by a flame from a burner to provide fuel to take off and to land. When hot air lets off and blows up, the balloon ascends and when the hot hair quantity is reduced, the balloon looses height. It’s usual for a hot air balloon to ascend to 1500 feet.
