Question

Which of the following statements explain why weather balloons get larger as they rise though the atmosphere to regions of lower pressure? The volume of gas increases. The volume of gas decreases. The atmospheric gas exerts more pressure on the surface of the balloon, so the interior gas is compressed until the internal and external pressures are equal. The atmospheric gas exerts more pressure on the surface of the balloon, so the interior gas is compressed until the internal and external pressures are equal.

Explanation / Answer

Weather balloon gets larger as they rise through the atmosphere to the regions of low pressure because as the atmospheric gas exerts less pressure on the surface of the balloon, so the interior gas expands until the internal and external pressure becomes equal.
