Generally, dry air is heavier than humid air because the water vapor is lighter than the nitrogen and oxygen that make up 99% of the atmosphere. Also, cold air is heavier than warm air. which is the basis for most of our weather. The reason cold air is heavier is due to the molecules being packed closer together.
