Riding on a hot air balloon can be one of the most exciting and serene travels you can experience in your lifetime.  But since it only goes as fast as the wind and cannot be functionally steered towards directions commanded by the person on the hot air balloon, it is an impractical vehicle to use for purposes other than snagging a pleasurable sight-seeing experience. 

But in order to get rid of your inhibitions when it comes to riding hot air balloons, you need to know the basics or more so the science behind hot air balloons.  The underlying scientific principle behind the hot air balloon is very simple: warmer air rises over cooler air.  Why?  Warmer air is essentially lighter than cooler air because hot air is less dense and thus has less mass per volume unit compared to cooler air.  Two cubic feet of warm air produced and contained within a hot air balloon can functionally lift up to 14 grams of sheer mass - this is the reason behind hot air balloons being massive since a hot air balloon needs to constantly produce and contain around 130000 cubic feet of warm air in order to functionally lift about 10000 grams of sheer mass.
