Google project Loon: Here is how LOON moves!
Here is the approach which has been adopted by Google engineers to make it possible: ‘’Winds
in the stratosphere are generally steady
and slow-moving at between 5 and 20 mph, and each layer of wind varies in direction and magnitude.’’ Google harnesses this reality combined with algorithms to determine where its balloons need to go, then moves each one into a layer of wind blowing in the right direction.

We also
discovered that by moving with the wind, the balloons can be arranged to form
one large communications network. Project Loon balloons travel around 20 km
above the Earth’s surface in the stratosphere.
About project
Loon
Project Loon is
a network of balloons traveling on the edge of space, designed to connect
people in rural and remote areas, help fill in coverage gaps and bring people
back online after disasters.
