Best Answer

A tornado is made almost entirely of air, with smaller amounts of water, dust and debris. Since air is compressible, a tornado will vary in density depending on temperature, elevation, ambient pressure, and the intensity of the tornado. Generally, density would be between 800 and 1,200 kg/m^3.
