Solution

The gas law that explains this phenomenon is Charles’ Law. Charles' Law states that the volume of a given amount of gas is directly proportional to its temperature on the absolute temperature scale (Kelvin scale) if pressure is kept constant. In this case, as the temperature of the gas inside the weather balloon decreases, the volume of the gas also decreases, which is consistent with Charles' Law.
