Generally, dry air is heavier than humid air because the water vapor is lighter than the nitrogen and oxygen that make up 99% of the atmosphere. Also, cold air is heavier than warm air. which is the basis for most of our weather. The reason cold air is heavier is due to the molecules being packed closer together.

Air is relatively light compared to other substances. Its density is much lower than that of solids and liquids, which is why we don't usually feel its weight.

What is another word for light as is not heavy?
Another word for "light" as in not heavy is "lightweight."
Does a parachute fall quicker with a heavy or light weight?
A heavy weight will cause the parachute to fall at a faster rate than a light weight due to gravity's pull. The air resistance provided by the parachute will slow down the descent of both heavy and light weights.
What is the antonym for the word heavy?
The antonym for the word "heavy" is "light."
Do heavy objects fall to the ground before light objects?
In the absence of air resistance, heavy objects and light objects fall to the ground at the same rate. This is because all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. However, factors like air resistance can affect the rate at which objects fall.
Does a solid feel light or heavy?
a solid feels heavy
Is helium light or heavy?
Helium is very light. it is the second lightest element
Why can you run faster than you can swim?
Because water is heavy, Air is light.
Which frisbee's can stay in the air the longest heavy or light?
Light because the wind is able to carry the disc farther.
Does air molecules escape into space?
Air molecules do escape into space it depends on how heavy or hoe light they are. However, lighter molecules of air have greater velocities while heavy molecules of air has less velocities were gravity pulls the air downwards.
Why do your heavy and light balls not bounce higher than your bouncy ball?
The heavy ball has more inertia and the light ball has less energy, hence they do not bounce as high as the bouncy ball. The bouncy ball is designed with a material that can store and quickly release kinetic energy upon impact, leading to a higher bounce.
How heavy is pumice?
Pumice, being mostly composed of air bubbles, is surprisingly light for a rock. So light, in fact, that it can float on water.
What is heavier a warm front or a cold front?
It depends on if you mean heavy rain or light rain. If you mean heavy rain then when a cold air mass rises over a warm air mas. If you mean light rain then when a warm air mass rises over a warm air mass.
What is another word for light as is not heavy?
Another word for "light" as in not heavy is "lightweight."
Why would the consumers want the Russian economy to change from relying on Heavy industry to a greater emphases on light industry?
Because the heavy industry is polluting the water and air.
Why is it important that a pendulum in a clock is heavy?
A heavier pendulum swings with more inertia, which helps regulate the clock's movement and keep time accurately. The weight also increases the pendulum's momentum, making it less affected by external factors like air resistance or friction.
Is limestone heavy or light?
it is heavy
How does a cold room affect photosynthesis?
Cold room affects photosynthesis, because light can travel very fastly in light air or vaccum.As cold air is heavy ,the sunlight can't reach the earth very fastly.Thus, cold air affects the photosynthesis.
