A hot air balloon comes down when less lift is provided by reducing balloon air temperature to control descent.
To bring a hot air balloon lower, the pilot can release hot air by pulling a cord that opens the top of the balloon envelope, allowing the heat to escape. This causes the air inside the balloon to cool down, which decreases the overall lift and brings the balloon closer to the ground.
In rising, a hot air balloon works the same way as a helium balloon : the hot air inside is less dense than the surrounding air outside the balloon. The heavier outside air pushes below the balloon and forces it upward. To come down is easier in a hot air balloon. Unless it is continually reheated, its temperature reverts to that of the surrounding air and the balloon settles back to the Earth under its own weight. Vents that release the heated air (like venting helium in a helium balloon) is an alternative to increase the speed of descent.
Hot air balloon pilots control the descent of the balloon by releasing hot air and using vents to control the descent rate. They aim to land in a suitable location, often communicating with a ground crew to assist in the landing process. Once on the ground, the crew helps to pack up the balloon for transport back to the launch site.
One way to demonstrate gravity on Earth is by dropping an object and observing it fall towards the ground due to the force of gravity pulling it down.

If the burner fails or runs out of fuel, the hot air in the balloon (that gives it lift) would cool and the balloon would come down to earth.
What they do is blast cold air into the "hot" air and it makes the air molecules slow down... Thus it makes the air balloon decrease back to earth.
When you release a balloon that is filled with air, the density of the balloon is higher than the air surrounding it. As a result, gravity pulls the balloon down towards the floor. The buoyant force acting on the balloon is not strong enough to overcome the force of gravity, causing the balloon to fall instead of float.

Hot air balloons go down by releasing the hot air in the balloon. Normally you just let the air inside cool and descend slowly. You release hot air only if you wish to descend more quickly.
Pulling the cord attached to the parachute valve will release the parachute from the top of the balloon, causing it to deploy and slow down the descent of the balloon. This action helps reduce the impact and landing speed of the balloon when it reaches the ground.
To make the balloon descend gradually, the balloonist can release some hot air from the envelope by opening the top valve. This will allow the balloon to cool down slightly and start descending. Adjusting the burner flame to produce less heat can also help with a gradual descent.
