Questions about hot air balloons

[L. Hines]

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.

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.

Love, n.: A form of temporary insanity afflicting the young. It is curable
either by marriage or by removal of the afflicted from the circumstances
under which he incurred the condition. It is sometimes fatal, but more
often to the physician than to the patient.

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