Solar balloon

A Solar Balloon is a special type of balloon filled with air and heated by sunlight. When the sunlight heats up the air inside the balloon, it causes the balloon to expand and become larger. This makes the balloon float up into the sky like a regular hot air balloon. The balloons, when filled correctly, can reach heights of over 500 meters, and can even last for up to two hours or more.
