Sand, dirt, and other dry things weigh more if it is wet.
Exactly how much more it weighs will depend on how wet it is.
It will depend on (a) the bulk density of the dry sand and (b) the moisture content of the wet sand.
The density of sand varies depending on what minerals the grains of sand are made of, and wet sand is denser than dry sand. As a rough rule of thumb, a litre of dry sand weighs about 1500 grams.
Can weigh up to 700 pounds when it is wet.
Sand, wet - 1920 kg/m³ Sand, wet, packed - 2080 kg/m³ Sand, dry - 1600 kg/m³ Sand, loose - 1440 kg/m³ Sand, rammed - 1680 kg/m³ Sand, water filled - 1920 kg/m³
Sand can be wet or dry.
Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!
...quite a lot
It depends if it is wet or dry.
Dry sand is dry because it has little or no water in it. Wet sand is wet because it is saturated with water. Wet sand is often found on ocean beaches.
because wet sand is cold from the cold water that makes it wet, and dry sand is in the sun and the water cant reach all the sand.
