Uplift in gases

To lift a balloon there are two possibilities:

1. Possibility: Lessen of the weight force.
Using a gas that has the same volume but a smaller density than air. Therefore, the weight force of the balloon is smaller and the uplifting force lets it lift.

2. Possibility: Increasing the uplift.
Once air or other gases are heated up, they expand. They take up a bigger space. The mass and the weight force however, do not change. Because the volume is bigger more cold gas is supressed and the uplift increases.

Does that count for solid objects as well?
