A gas balloon is any balloon that stays aloft due to being filled with a gas less dense than air or lighter than air (such as helium or hydrogen). A gas balloon may also be called a Charliθre for its inventor, the Frenchman Jacques Charles. Today, familiar gas balloons include large blimps and small rubber party balloons. Blimps have displaced zeppelins (which are not balloons) as the dominant form of airship.

Gas balloon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Both Helium and Hydrogen would be correct options, but hydrogen unlike helium can be easily produced, and therefore it is used more commonly )
