Moist air means that there is more water vapor in a given amount of air than there is when the air is dry. Water vapor is less dense than dry air, so if there's less dry air and more water vapor, the air weighs less (if you don't change its altitude).

∙ 12y agoYes, this is due to the fact that the molecular weight of dry air is 29.47. and the molecular weight of water is 18. So when air absorbs water it actually gets lighter.

Out of dry and wet air which is heavier?
Moist air weighs less than dry air at the same temperature. This is because the density of diatomic Oxygen and Nitrogen is greater than water vapor (H2O).
Why is dry air heavier than wet air?
The 'wetness' in the air creates a more dense 'air particle' which creates humid areas and such.
Is wet sugar heavier than dry sugar?

What type of air masses affect wet and dry climate?
dry continental air masses.
What is different between dry and wet oxygen?
wet oxygen carries small pockets of water, which makes the air humid. when there is little or no pockets of water, it makes the air and everything around it dry.

What is the difference beween wet air and dry air?
Wet air has more water vapor than dry air.

Why do wet clothes dry faster on a hot day than on a cold day?
The moisture from the clothing evaporates, taking surface heat with it and thereby cooling the skin.
What is the origin of cold wet air masses?
No, They can be COLD, WET; COLD,DRY; WARM, WET; or WARM, DRY.
How do you make a wet surface dry by air?
Let it sit and air dry.
Why does dry sand weigh more than wet sand?
Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!
Who is heaver nitrogen or air?
Dry air is about 80% nitrogen. The remaining 20% consists mostly of things that are heavier than nitrogen, so dry air is very slightly heavier than nitrogen.
How does a wet thing get dry?
with air ,a dryer.
