Explanation
A zeppelin is a large airship filled with gas that can float and move through the air. It looks like a long balloon with engines and was used before airplanes became common. For example, the zeppelin flew slowly across the city sky. In the past, zeppelins were used for travel, war, and advertising. Today, you might still see them as blimps (a type of large airships) at events or sports games.
