it wll burst, as there will be no air pressure outside to counter the air inside, the air inside will expan indifinately and burst the balloon.

I seriously wish people would stop talking about things instantaneously freezing in space! That's simply not the case! It's true that an object in direct sunlight will get extremely hot due to the Sun's radiation. However, without direct light it's not true that the object becomes immediately frozen! The belief that objects will behave like this is based upon a misconception about space. See, many people think that the temperature in space is extremely cold. However, this isn't true at all! There is NO real measureable temperature in space since temperature is simply the average kinetic energy of the particles in a mass. Since space is almost a perfect vacuum and near massless it doesn't HAVE a temperature. Furthermore, while it may be true that the very few molecules in open space may be extremely cold, they are so rare that it would take a very long time before any one of them came into contact with the object in question to allow it to exchange heat! In other words, the vacuum of space acts as a perfect insulator to prevent conductive heat loss!
However, every object radiates heat energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation, but at a considerably slower rate than normal conduction. Thus, the object will someday lose its heat, but not nearly as fast as if it were in Antartica, or even your living room!

Space is a very harsh environment. Ballons would be toast or frozen.
But if you had a ballon in the space shuttle, it would float around just like the people. If it had Helium in it, it would not float upwards! It would not be possible to tell the difference between a balloon filled with helium or nitrogen (except in a day or two the helium will leak right through the balloon whereas the nitrogen would not).

imagine how a lot more effective the balloon in question will be with out popping. Say you could get it two times as huge formerly it pops. because the balloon rises the air stress drops. If the stress were to drop through 1/2 the balloon would double in length. So how severe would the balloon favor to drift to have the stress drop to 50%? utilising a mountain climber's rule of thumb: 0.5 = a million/e^(h/7) or h = 7ln(a million/0.5) = 4.80 5 km (3 miles). And in ordinary words 95 km to flow to get to area. .

If it didn't have too much gas in it ,u might be surprised. The side where the sun is shining is subjected to 300deg F. and the shady side would be -250 deg.f. If it was spinning in the rotisserie mode it could last a few min. now what do u expect would happen.

If the balloon is a normal one it would immediatly expand until it bursts.

It could burst or freeze... depending on which side of the Earth it is rised up. If it's towards the Sun, it'll expant and burst. If it's not, then it'll freeze.

a baloon in space wud burst. as there is vaccum ( sort off) d air inside the baloon wud try to expand and thus d baloon wil stretch farther den it can take.. n thus burst!!!!

It pops because it's either in the extreme heat of the sun or it freezes and pops because it's not in the sun's light and heat.

Don't care, but i used to like 'pigs in space'.
