Balloon … Probably one of the most popular poetic images. Unlike Newton's apple and everything physical that falls to the ground, the balloon rushes into the sky. Like a daring human fantasy.
The ball, tritely inflated by the mouth, becomes weightless. Only its shell, latex, makes it a little heavier, and therefore your pink balloon rests on the sofa, and does not hang in the middle of the room. If the balloon is pumped with a gas lighter than air, for example, helium, it will tend to fly upward. This aspiration to fly, given by colorful balloons, gives a unique charm to any festive procession: carnival, May Day parade, fiesta sung by E. Hemingway. In a fit of overwhelmed joy, you let go of the connecting thread, and the balloon flew. Here he is getting smaller and smaller. Where does it eventually go? Serious scientists say that having risen to a height where the external pressure is compared with the internal one due to the great rarefaction of the air, the balloon freezes. But not always and not every ball reaches this desired height of rest. More often, the ball, rising higher and higher, gradually swells and bursts. Cannot withstand the shell, expanded by pressure from the inside. It bursts with a loud bang, which naturally cannot be heard on the ground. It is said that balloons inflated with helium are more likely to burst, as they rise much higher. A balloon released into the sky may, due to its insufficient tightness, gradually deflate and fall to the ground or catch on tops of trees several kilometers from the launch site. The most famous passenger in balloons - the Olympic Bear - according to one version, landed in the Leninsky Prospect area of Moscow. At the same time, as eyewitnesses say, this six-meter symbol greatly frightened the vacationers at the beer tent, knocking it down. They say that for some time the symbol of the Moscow Olympics-80 was an exhibit at VDNKh. Then a West German firm allegedly wanted to buy it, but the deal did not materialize. The further fate of the Olympic Bear is unknown. Where do the balloons fly away?..
