Depends.

IF you mean BALLOON then the following is the answer

If it is a small cold air balloon gravity simply pulls it down as it is denser than the surrounding air (ie. it weighs more for the space it take up then the surrounding air it displaces).

If it is a hot air balloon then the hot air has expanded so as to displace the heavier cold air inside and around the balloon and now being less dense than the surrounding air it simply floats upwards defeating gravity (the reality is that the balloon only appears to rise - what actually happens is that the colder air falls around the hot air). Once the hot air cools the balloon shrinks in size displacing less cold air around it and it is now denser than the surrounding air and gravity takes over and the balloon is pulled toward the earth (commonly called "down")

IF you really meant a guy named Ballon he was a German Ballet dancer and probably tripped

IF you mean a Balloon flask as used in Chemical procedures to catch the drippings of distillation then some one only has to knock it off the bench.

IF you mean the village of Ballon it is already ground. Although the air in the balloon is the same density as the air outside, the rubber weighs it down pulling it to the ground.

This doesn't happen with helium balloons because they are so much less dense than air that they can carry the plastic.

Why does a hot air balloon fly?

A hot air balloon flies because it is filled with hot air. Hot air rises and causes the balloon to lift from the ground.

How do hot air balloons return to the ground?

the air cools in the balloon therefor it lowers to the ground


What types of hot air balloon flight are there?

Only one. The type where the hot air balloon leaves the ground.


What could a pilot do cause the balloon back to the ground?

If a hot air balloon, then stop heating the air. If a lighter-than-air balloon then release some of the gas.


What make a hotair balloon go up?

Hot air goes into the balloon. sense the air is so hot, it pushes the balloon off the ground and floats in the air!


Does a hot air balloon drop you off where it picks you up?

no


How do you get off a hot air balloon?

You climb out when the balloon lands on the ground and the basket is secure.


Why does the hot air balloon come down?

Once the air cools, the balloon will lose its lift and settle back to the ground.


How does a hot air balloon lift of the ground?

You have to trigger the heat, which goes through the tube and it heats the balloon and it flies in the air.


Why does the heating of gas cause a hot air balloon to rise?

Because hot air rises and a hot air balloon utilizes this. As the hot air rises it lifts the balloon so that it lifts off from the ground. And the reason why the hot air balloon has a burner, the thing that is connected to the balloon itself and shoots flame into it, is because the hot air inside the balloon begins to cool causing it to fall so the burner reheats the air so that it doesn't return back to the ground.


Why does a hot air balloon get off the ground?

because warm gases rise because they are less dense than normal air, so the hot air from the flame is trapped in the balloon thus lifting it off the ground.
