Default Questions about hot air balloons

My daughter has a report due on hot air balloons.
Can someone please answer the following questions?
What is the balloon part made of?
Why won't the gas burn the balloon?
Is the story about 80 days around the world true?
What happens when the balloon runs out of gas?
Thanks in advance.

It was a work of fiction. The whole trip was not via balloon.



What happens when the balloon runs out of gas?
Thanks in advance.


There is a rec.aviation.balloon group. I don't know how active it is, but
it couldn't hurt to repost your questions there.

Oh, yeah? Care to hear the story about a friend's fourth-grade child
who had to research "Canadian Beavers" so he went to Google and typed
"Canadian Beavers?"

Of course, when talking about young children accidently running across
porn while legitimately researching a school project, there really is no
punch line.
