Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Did old gas balloons rise faster as they got higher?
« on: 10/01/2020 11:46:47 »
John's got a question that arose after watching a film:
The move "The Aeronauts" (2019) claims balloons of the era rise faster as they get higher. Is this true?
The film is set in the 1860s - so any ideas?
EDIT - Changed "hot air" in the title of this post to "gas" in accordance with John's original question.
