In terms of temperature, pressure and volume, what is happening when a hot air balloon inflates?

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that when the gas in a hot air balloon is heated, the gas expands. The balloon has a fixed volume, but there is a hole at the bottom. So, the extra volume flows out of the hole in the bottom of the balloon. Since there is less air in the same volume, its density decreases
