Pourquoi un ballon rempli d'hélium s'élÚve dans les airs ?

Why does a balloon filled with helium rise into the air?

In the same way that a cork rises to the surface of the water, a balloon inflated with helium flies away (Archimedes' thrust).

What is helium?

Helium is a very light gas, made up of very small atoms, much smaller than the oxygen or nitrogen atoms found in the air. A balloon filled with helium experiences Archimedes' buoyancy, but instead of water we have air.

Helium is 7.2 times less dense than air.
