just curious.
thanks

most balloons are porous and pop when hitting 30,152 feet,

The ordinary party balloon filed with party gas (70%nitrogen, 30% helium) would seldom get much above 1500ft and most of them burst due to expansion and stretching the latex. If the balloon doesn't burst but reaches a level of neutral bouyancy, it will sink as the helium leaks out through the pores in the latex.
Weather balloons use hydrogen and they rise til they burst. How high they get depends on the size of the balloon and the load it is carrying. Usually they burst between 70,000ft and 100,000ft. In the days when the instrument package was large, a parachute was attached to bring the load safely down. These days with modern electronics, radiosondes are small and the burst balloon and the radar target provide a sufficient parachute.

it certainly relies upon on the atmospheric stress on any given day that could maximum result the bursting of mentioned balloon.because of the fact the balloon rises the air stress around the exterior of the balloon will become greater and greater much less,whilst the interior the balloon continues to be quite consistent for this reason as quickly as the balloon starts to upward push it is going to additionally start to strengthen from the interior till ultimately the form(rubber or plastic) can now no longer carry the air interior and*POP*.

It depends on how full the balloon is. The fuller the balloon, the more outward pressure from the inside, and and higher it goes, it will have less outward pressure, making the inside expand very rapidly, making the balloon pop. if a balloon were not filled so much, there would be less outward pressure, making the balloon needing to go higher before the outside pressure is less than the inside.

Depending on the weather, the balloon, and a number of other things, it very well may not pop at all.
For instance, weather balloons are designed not to pop as they rise, because dropping the instruments would be Very Bad.
Your average helium-filled rubber balloon will quite likely leak enough of its helium to start sinking again before it has had a chance to rise high enough for it tuo burst due to pressure differentials.

as long as it can take the pressure change of the upper atmosphere... the upper atmospheric pressure decreases but inner air pressure in the balloon doesnt decrease so inner air pushes out on the balloon wall causing it to pop at some point of time//////// thanks

when its high, the presure outside decrease while the inner doesn't, so the bloon get larger because the air inside "push harder". but the bloon cant get to much larger, beacouse the ballon flexiblility isn't infinite so it will blow. the high depend in the kind ot the ballon.

Why don't you hold on to the end and float on up with it and see?LOL!!!!!
