Since weight is the measure of an object's gravitational pull, the compressed air does not weigh more. The difference is in the density of the air. A tank filled with compressed air will weigh more than a tank that is filled with air at normal atmospheric pressure.

Is pressure in a balloon less than atmospheric pressure?
No, the pressure of the balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure because the gasses in the balloon are compressed by the stretched material.
Why is air more buoyant than water?
Air is more buoyant than water because air is less dense than water, and everything the thing that is less dense is always more buoyant than what is more dense than it.
Does compressed air sink more than non compressed air?
yes
Why are you more buoyant in a swimming pool or a lake than on land?
Water is denser than air.
Are PFD's more buoyant in deep water than in shallow water?
yes
Is pressure in a balloon less than atmospheric pressure?
No, the pressure of the balloon is more than the atmospheric pressure because the gasses in the balloon are compressed by the stretched material.
What term best describes a gas under greater than atmospheric pressure?
compressed gas
Why is air more buoyant than water?
Air is more buoyant than water because air is less dense than water, and everything the thing that is less dense is always more buoyant than what is more dense than it.
Why does solid body weigh more in air than when immersed in a liquid?
the buoyant force of the liquid on the solid is more than the buoyant force of the air on the solid.
Whats the temperature of Compressed air coming out of a punctured football?
It is lower than atmospheric temprature
Are continental plates more buoyant than oceanic plates?
Continental lithospheric plates are more buoyant than oceanic plates, yes.
What happens when a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure is applied on pure water?
It is compressed and occupies a smaller volume.
Are certain turtle shell shapes more buoyant than others?
No, certain turtle shell shapes are not more buoyant than others. A turtle's buoyancy is not dependent on its shell.
Define compressed natural gas?
Compressed natural gas is natural gas under pressure which remains clear, odorless, and non-corrosive. This is when natural gas is compressed to less than 1% of its volume at standard atmospheric pressure.
Why carbon dioxide can be compressed more than milk?
Because gases can be compressed more easily than liquids. This is because the particles in gases are more far apart than the particles are in liquids so have more room between them to be compressed together(:
Does compressed air sink more than non compressed air?
yes
What exactly is compressed air?
Air that is held inside one of several types of special containers at a decreased volume is known as compressed air. For the air to be compressed, its pressure inside the container must be at a higher pressure than that of the atmospheric air outside of it.
