The density of helium is only one-seventh of the density of air at the same pressure, so when the balloon is stable, the other six-sevenths has to be accounted for by a combination of (i) the weight of the balloon fabric, and (ii) the tension in the balloon fabric keeping the helium at a higher pressure than the surrounding air. There is no simple answer, but four miles would not surprise me.

It will rise to a height at which he density of the atmosphere will be equal to the the density of the balloon and the helium gas combined together.

there are such a good number of variables that won't be able to be depended on except one. Variables comprise climatic circumstances, high quality of the balloon, quantity of gas contained in the balloon, blend ratio between helium and air, age of the balloon, how the balloon replaced into dealt with formerly inflation. the purely strong given is that once the balloon lands contained in the palms of a lady with lengthy nails, POW!

It depends on how much pressure is inside the balloon, how much weight it is carrying, and the air temperature.
Get all the factors correct and you could get a few miles up. I think the max would be between 8 and 10 miles.

probably to the second layer of the atmoshere the stratosphere were there won't be enough pressure and the baloon will pop
