Can heavier gas move upwards?
Yes heavier gas can move upwards or downwards at the same time as coolgas is moving in the opposite direction. For example in a fringe. Why do you think theyy put the fruit and vegetable conatiners at the bottom of the fringe? Because hot air rises and cold air sinks. Hope this helps!!
Why lighter gases diffuse more rapidly than havier gases?
The idea is that they tend to be made up of lighter molecules; on average, these move faster (for a given temperature) than heavier (actually, more massive) molecules.
Which object forms by the contraction of a large sphere of gases causing the nuclear fusion of lighter elements into heavier element?
A star

What are the characteristics of gases and vapors that are heavier than air?
They sink below the air.
Does a lighter gas effuse slower than heavier gases?
yup
When making a vortex using air do you want gases that are lighter or heavier than air?
Well, when I made a vortex using air, I used gases that are lighter.
Why is water heavier than the two gasses that compose it?
fluids are heavier than gases. When hydrogen its by itself is lighter than water as so the oxygen is also lighter. Once combined they form a fluid thus the combination of two gases produced a fluid which will turn heavier.
If ice became a gas would it be heavier than a solid?
No, all gases are lighter than solids

What is heterosphere mean?
The atmosphere above 80km (50 mi) and the homosphere where gases are stratified, with concentrations of the heavier gases decreasing more rapidly with altitude than concentrations of the lighter gases

What can gases do that solids cant?
They can take the shape of their container, and some are able to rise above air (some gases are lighter and some are heavier than room air.)
