Think of the air around us as a huge ocean of air that sits ontop of the land. Air has weight...incredible weight. If you take the air out of something, the there is a vacuum inside it and nothing to support it and the air pressure crushes it

What weighs more a bag full of uncrushed cans or bag full of crushed cans?

If both bags are the same size, there would be more cans in the crushed can bag and it would weigh 3 or 4 times more than the bag without any crushed cans. If there are the same number of cans in each bag, as long as the cans were not closed, they would weight the same. If the cans were sealed, the air inside would add to the weight of the bag. as the uncrushed cans would leave a lot of air in the bag that would be lighter so a bag of crushed would weigh more as there would be more cans in there
