Balloon
This article is about balloons in general. See also Balloon (aircraft) and Toy balloon. A balloon is a flexible bag normally filled with a gas, such as heliumhydrogennitrous oxide or air. Early balloons were made of dried animal bladders. Modern balloons can be made from materials such as rubberlatex, polychloroprene or a nylon fabric. Some balloons are purely decorative, while others are used for specific purposes such as meteorologymedical treatmentmilitary defense, or transportation. A balloon's properties, including its low density and relatively low cost, have led to a wide range of applications.
