Best Answer: A tethered hot air balloon flight will typically be between 50-75 feet. It's high enough for the passengers to get a feel for the height and manageable enough for rope length. I have heard of some gas ride balloons that are on a winch go higher. To tell you the truth, I can't recall the max height for tethering. It wouldn't be different than for gas balloons.
Charlesâs Law provides a succinct explanation for how hot air balloons work. According to Charlesâs Law, if a balloon is filled with a heated gas, its volume must expand. At an elevated volume, the balloon then occupies a larger volume in the same weight as the surrounding air â its density is now less than the cold air and consequently, the balloon begins to rise.
