The Balloon itself is made of a highly flexible latex material. The balloon is usually filled with hydrogen rather than helium because it is less expensive. Helium can be used as a substitute. The balloons can reach altitudes up to 25 miles or more, it depends on the pressure. Sometimes the balloon goes to far into the atmosphere they have to use sounding rockets to find them. Many UFO sightings have been mistaken for weather balloons.
Weather balloons are being launched everywhere for observations on recent atmospheric updates. They help meteorologists and forecasters on the news to predict the weather.
