How does helium work?

Alight so a bit of a backstory I got a pt job recently working at a florist, but part of this job entails filling balloons for people, but I've never understood the physics that goes into it, I understand that helium is lighter than gravity, so it isn't affected by it unlike heavier gases, such as regular air, but what does it mean to be lighter than gravity?
