What is heavier damp air or dry air?
Dry air is "heavier" than moist air, that is, it is denser. The water molecules in humid air do not fit in between "air" molecules (diatomic nitrogen and oxygen in a 79:21 ratio), they replace them, as per Avogardo's number of molecules in a mole of a gas. One molecule of diatomic nitrogen has a mass of 32 AMU and of diatomic oxygen, 28 AMU. A water molecule only has a mass of 16 AMU. Don't believe it? Think about it: a high pressure system is dry air and is higher pressure because it is a sinking air mass. It sinks because it is heavier.
