What causes the ground to warm up?

• The air above it is hot and makes it warm.

• Light from the sun is reflected off it and warms it up.

• Light from the sun is absorbed by it and it warms up.

Putting the balloon on the heating pad caused the balloon to rise because

• the heat gave the air particles energy and caused them to move slower and become more dense than the air particles around them

• the heat gave the air particles energy and caused them to move faster and become less dense than the air particles around them
