About it

A hot-air balloon flies because hot air is lighter than the cool air around it. A burner under the big fabric envelope heats the air inside, and the balloon floats up; as the air cools, it sinks again. Pilots can only go up and down, so they steer by finding winds at different heights that blow the way they want to go. The first people to fly in a hot-air balloon took off in Paris in 1783.

Tap it to fire the burner: a big flame roars, the envelope swells and glows warm, and the balloon climbs well up, then drifts back down. Pick stripes or a rainbow, and two colors, in the Splash tab.
