A balloon is a flexible, thin-walled container made of rubber or plastic that can be filled with air or gas. Balloons come in many shapes and sizes and can be used for a variety of purposes, including decoration, entertainment, advertising, scientific research, and even transportation, and are often filled with helium to make them float in the air and can also be filled with hot air to create hot-air balloons that are used for recreational flights. Balloons have been around since ancient times and remain popular today due to their versatility and affordability.
