प्रश्न
Explain the following observation.
The size of a weather balloon becomes larger and larger as it ascends up to larger altitude

उत्तर
The volume of the gas is inversely proportional to the pressure at a given temperature according to Boyle’s law. As the weather balloon ascends, the pressure tends to decrease. As a result, the volume of the gas inside the balloon or the size of the balloon is likely to increase.
