The two pictures depict the working mechanism of the hot air balloon. One picture shows all the components and the other describes how the height or level of flight of the balloon is achieved. Based on the given picture, we can see that the components of a hot air balloon are: a burner, a basket, a propane cylinder, a rope, a skirt, a n envelope which has panels, gores and the parachute valve.
The basket is for the passengers to stand on and have a wonderful ride. There are some propane cylinders kept in the basket which keeps the fire in the burner alive by mixing with air. The hot air produced by the burner when mixed with the cold air from the atmosphere lifts the balloon higher. Hot air is lighter than the cool air which causes the balloon to lift itself higher in the sky. The parachute valve is a self sealing flap that allows hot air to escape at a controlled rate. The height of the balloon depends on how much heat is generated by the burner. More the heat higher will be the flight. The ropes used in the balloon hold the basket the burner and the envelope together.
