Balloon

A balloon is a flexible bag, often made of rubber, plastic, or foil, that can be inflated with a gas, such as air, helium, or hydrogen. When inflated, it can take on a variety of shapes and sizes and is commonly used for decoration, play, scientific purposes, and surveillance. The lifting ability of a balloon depends on the type of gas used and the size of the balloon. Balloons have played a part in human activity since the 18th century, with various implementations of the use case as a toy or scientific instrument, but only saw broad proliferation in the 20th century with mass production techniques being developed.
