Question

A helium balloon inflated on one day will fall to the ground by the next day. The volume of the balloon decreases somewhat overnight, but not by enough to explain why it no longer floats. (If you inflate a new balloon with helium to the same size as the balloon that fell to the ground, the newly inflated balloon floats.) Explain.
