Anything that displaces a fluid feels an upward pressure equal to the weight of that volume of fluid. That is called buoyancy, or floating. It's hard to imagine a piece of steel floating, but the upward force of the displaced air reduces the measured weight. A warm object expands, so it displaces more air and is lighter.
Most materials, and all metals, absorb air and that increases their mass. A warm material might expel some of the air, removing some mass.
Air around the object rises when heated and the turbulence of moving air can cause random readings of the weight. Precision scales have doors to exclude air movements, and some scales use a vacuum chamber.
Antoin Lavoisier, the French guy who invented chemistry, wrote a book explaining how to reproduce his experiments. He devoted an entire section to describing his very precise scales and other instruments. One of them was in the basement of a building: the entire basement. The house was empty, existing only to cover the basement, and the basement was insulated with bark chips to prevent outside heat from causing inside air currents. There was a tiny door to load the scale, and a tiny window to observe the measurement. You can download his book "Elements Of Chemistry" Kindle edition.
The size of an object is determined by its physical dimensions.
gross errors,random errors, and instrumental errors.
The heaviest object known to have been picked up by a tornado was an oil tank that weighed 90 tons.
i believe, and i may be wrong, bet the force required to move the object in the water will be less than the force required to move the object through the air. the best bet for you to see this is to try it for yourself.
Objects are normally weighed on scales. If you want to weigh an object while holding it away from your body, you can stand on the scale, holding the object away from your body, and then subtract your own weight from the total. The object has the same weight whether held close to or distant from your body.
A hot object produce a lowering of air density around the balance and this produce an error in balance reading.The sample must have the same temperature as the balance. Balances are frequently designed to work correct at 20 oC.
The size of an object is determined by its physical dimensions.
A scale works best when the object being weighed is stationary. Otherwise the object is shifting and can't be weighed accurately.

The weight depends on the force of gravity at the point where the object is weighed.
about 9 pounds
If you weighed 100lb on Pluto you would weigh approximately 1,493lb on Earth.
About 30.5 pounds

Depends where you weigh it. This is really pedantic but weight is a force acting on an object due to gravity, not an inherent characteristic of the object. The Earth has a mass of 6.0x1024 kg. If you weighed it on the Earth (?) it would weigh 6.0x1025 Newtons but on the moon just 7.21023 N.
