Solids tend to be heavier because they have more atoms in less area (density) and the reason they have more atoms in less area is because they have an atomic attraction between them that is much greater than that of gasses and liquids (liquids have no atomic attraction and gasses tend to repel themselves)
Now gasses whose atoms repel against themselves are much more disperse and occupy a lot more space with a lot less mass.

Why solid has a higher mass than same volume of gas?
Solids are heavier than gases because the particles inside a solid are compact like this ooooooooooooooo (in a proper diagram of solid ooooooooooooooo the particles are touching) ooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooo ... and they are in a regular formation ... whereas gases are not compact the float about in random directions. THEY ARE NOT DENSE. Solids are dense and that is what makes them heavy. o o <--- Gas particles o o o o (SOLIDS ARE HEAVY BECAUSE THEY ARE DENSE)
