Best Answer

it either runs out of helium, pops, or goes sooo high that the helium isn%26#039;t the lightest gas, and it stays there untill it... you guessed it! runs out of helium of pops.

• When it comes down, it more than likely lands in water. There, it gets eaten by a curious or hungry fish, seal, etc. It causes them great harm. Please don%26#039;t release balloons! Yes, it is littering. People sometimes tell kids that they are sending a message to someone that has died. While that is sweet and sad, they%26#039;re probably actually sending them up a poor innocent animal %26quot;companion%26quot;!! BTW There%26#039;s nothing wrong with hugging a tree!!
• Let me guess bored?
• goes up in the air
• it will fly up in the air and when the air is not enough to fly the balloon will go down
• It flys away.... until it eventually hit something and pop.
• If you%26#039;ve tied the end so the air (or helium) doesn%26#039;t escape, it flies off on the wind current until it loses altitude and lands somewhere.
• Well, It flies then pops
• it flies away until it pops or deflates
