The document discusses how heating gases causes them to expand, making hot air balloons and zeppelins able to fly. Gases increase in volume when heated due to thermal expansion, with the volume expansion coefficient of gases being approximately 0.00367 per degree Celsius. A simple experiment is described to investigate how heating gases causes them to expand and rise, demonstrating the principles that allow hot air balloons and zeppelins to become airborne.
