Does air make things float?

Yes it does. In the same manner as a body submerged in water experiences a buoyant force that makes it weigh less, bodies in the atmosphere air experience such force, though it is rather small. Appealing to 'Archimedes Buoyancy Principle' (also known as 'Specific Weight Principle, 'a body in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body (the weight of the fluid with the same volume as the body immersed in it)'. An example of application of this principle is the 'zeppelin' and balloons filled with Helium.
