Weather balloons are large, latex balloons that float into the atmosphere to gather weather data. They are equipped with weather sensing tools that collect data about wind, humidity, temperature and air pressure
although improvements to the balloon material and data collection have occurred over the years. Surprisingly, with all of today's advanced technology, weather balloons are very similar to those that first lifted off the ground and they still gather the weather data we depend on daily...
